HI,

I have DB2 v7 installed on a server (OS: WINDOWS 2000 SERVER) with a scsi dat 20/40 TAPE DRIVE

I can backup to a directory on disk but how must i load the tape?? using vendor dll or please help ?? to backup to tape

thanx



 
win2kroot,

Before a tape device can be used on a Windows(R) operating system, the following command must be issued:

db2 initialize tape on <device> using <blksize>

Where:


<device>
is a valid tape device name. The default on Windows operating systems is \\.\TAPE0.

<blksize>
is the blocking factor for the tape. It must be a factor or multiple of 4096. The default value is the default block size for the device

Cheers
Greg
