That's not how it works. If you have a tape and it is full, you cannot overwrite old data -- you must overwrite the whole tape. I probably don't need to tell you why this is a bad idea for production data (what if that tape fails while you're writing and you happen to need a backup?). I would recommend a minimum of 3 tapes for anything you're trying to do. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
