Backup gurus-
I was trying to use dump for a rudimentary backup with a 4mm DAT
drive. The drive capacity is 4-8G and the tape capacity is 2-4G (90
meters, I believe). I have about 1-2G to back up. But if I run dump
with the default settings, only a small amount of data is written
before dump requests a new volume.
So my question is: What are the right settings for the dump parameters
-B (records), -b (blocksize), -d (density), and/or -s (feet) for this
configuration? (Also, am I correct in assuming that this has nothing
to do with the drive capacity and everything to do with the tape
capacity?)
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
