Tape Size Configuration Variable in
Auto Backup Needs to be Adjusted
Technical Bulletin
Overview
Introduction
Some of the default variable values set in Auto Backup are incorrect and may
cause issues during the backup and restore process. This technical bulletin
describes those variables and explains how to adjust their values to avoid issues.
Important: You should be able to complete a backup process using a single tape.
If you see a message in /dvs/dncs/tmp/abServer.Log about inserting "tape 2,"
then the process will not finish due to the Tape Size variable.
