tape_sizeLocate this document in the navigation structure

This parameter defines the physical tape storage size (tape length * write density) in gigabytes (G), megabytes (M) or kilobytes (K) for the tapes that are used for database backups and for backing up redo log files.

If you use software or hardware compression for files, this parameter specifies the total size of the files that can fit on the tape after compression. Make sure that the largest file for backup is no larger than the value specified in tape_size (after compression, when applicable).

tape_size = <size>K|<size>M|<size>G
         

Default value: 1200M
