Hello,

Can someone please help me, we are trying to do a DB2 database backup on to an IBM LTO tape drive. We have tested the drive and done a tar and a sample DB2 backup successfully. But failing to do a 16Gb database backup, failing with the errors below. I am not an expert on DB2.Backing up tablespace USERSPACE1
