- Replies so far to this topic have shown how to put multiple save-sets onto
- 8mm tapes, but all have assumed that the write operations have occurred
- without dismounting the tape. When running an archive operation, one wants
- to be able to append to a tape. This is possible by using backup/lis to get
- to the end of the tape, but be warned that an error condition is reported
- if no savesets exist. ie:
-
- $ if set_no .eq. 1
- $ then
- $ init mub pc'tape_no'
- $ mount/for mub PC'tape_no' exabyte
- $ else
- $ mount/for mub PC'tape_no' exabyte
- $ backup/lis exabyte:*.bck
- $ endif
- $ backup/ver/log 'bkpatn' exabyte:zip'set_no'.bck/sav/label=PC'tape_no'
