3657.0. "TZ88 problem!!!" by FORAT::PONS () Fri Feb 14 1997 13:03

	Hello,

	The customer have a TZ88 connected in a HSD10, in a tape have a backup
	standalone for a disk and after mount the tape /over=id and copy from
	another unit (TU81+) four saveset to TZ88 tape, all of this is OK but
	when the customer try to make a bac/list tape::second save_set/save
	the unit goes until end of tape and not found the saveset.

	If a customer make a bac/list unit:*, list all the savesets correctly.

	Any idea about???

	Thanks in advance

	Jordi.

3657.1copying savesets is not supportedNETRIX::"[email protected]"Volker HalleThu Mar 06 1997 20:226
As far as I'm aware, copying BACKUP savesets is not supported. You would
need to take special care abouit the block size on tape etc., so I don't thin
the problem has anything to do with the TZ88.

    Did they use /LIST/REWIND? There's a good chance that the tape was
    positioned pass the 2nd save set.
    
    If a "BACKUP Tape:*/LIST" listed all save sets without an error then
    the copy operation seems to have worked.

    Fyi, Backup savesets can be copied, using the SaveSet Manager utility.
