Restore asking for more tapes for a 1 tape backup

Restore asking for more tapes for a 1 tape backup

Restore asking for more tapes for a 1 tape backup

(OP)
I'm using Informix 7.31 on Win 2000.  I'm currently restoring a tape but the restore is asking for Tape 2 when the backup itself is only a "1 tape" backup (I took the backup myself and I know it only used 1 tape).

Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

antzzz:

I have no experience with Informix under windows, so I'm just grasping at straws here (since I'm a unix guy).

The informix config file has a variable called TAPESIZE.  Did this variable get changed between the time you did your archive and then the restore?

Hey, it's a long shot ....

Did you make backup and restore on the same server ?
