breaking a folder into two tapes

[Jo_o_Caselli]

I would like to make a backup that would use all of the space available in a tape and only changed tape when the tape in use was all used up, even if this mean to backup part of a folder in a tape and the rest into the next one.

How can i make this ????

Thanks

Hello,

You can run a normal backup.Check the option 'append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available'. Make sure that there is another overwriteable tape.When the job finishes the 1st tape, it will automatically span on to the next available tape.

Refer to the following link for more information on media behavior and the append and overwrite options:
