Be sure to have a tape operator 1 logged in! In case you have two tape drives, give / BACKUP the list instead of only one tape drive. / Backup will then fail automatically over to the / other drive. If you've go a tape library (TZ877 . or so) it will automatically get the next tape3 available. The label of the second tape in a backup 4 volume always gets "02" as the fifth and sixth byte,1 execpt you give backup a list of labels to expect 2 and dont include a /ignore=label. Backup then will- check every tape label and reject wrong ones. 3 Backup will record a change of tape in its logfile, 1 something like "resumed operation on volume two".    Thomas   longrun@thesimpsons.com wrote:  4 > I'm working on an automated tape backup script and2 > I don't have any examples of what to expect when2 > BACKUP splits a saveset across two tape volumes.0 > For instance, does anyone have any examples of2 > what might appear in the .LOG file (when running+ > in batch) and / or the Listing file (a la  > BACKUP/LIST=)? > 4 > At the start of procedure I'll prompt the Operator0 > for the ID numbers off of the backup tapes but3 > then I want to be able to match up which savesets  > are on which tape(s).  > + > Sticky wicket so I'd appreciate any help. . > Also think this may differ depending on the 1 > version of BACKUP ... heard something about the ( > behaviour changing for the worse with 1 > BACKUP > VMS 5.5 or thereabouts.
