Prerequisites

You have started a backup to a single backup medium or a backup to a group of parallel backup media.

The capacity of the medium or media inserted is not sufficiently large for the backup. The advancing bar showing the progress of the backup stops before reaching 100%.

You are requested to insert the succeeding medium.

Procedure

Succeeding medium is tape:

  1. Insert the next tape.
  2. Make sure that the tape just written has been stored in a safe place and that the right tape has been inserted.
  3. Choose Start.

Recommendation

We recommend you specify the exact capacity of the medium when defining the medium. Provided the tape device driver gives a reliable indication when the end of the tape is reached, the Database Manager GUI reacts as described even when Size = 0.
If the end of the tape is not recognized correctly, the message Writing Error is displayed. Even when this happens you can continue as described in steps 1-3.

Succeeding medium is file

  1. Under New Location, enter the name and full path of the file to which the backup should be made.
  2. Choose Backup ® Continue.

Repeat the procedure appropriate to the type of medium until the backup has been completed.

As long as the backup procedure is being performed, no other backup can be started. A backup is complete when the message Backup completed appears.
