Multivolume save set When you save information with BACKUP Manager, the save set sometimes spans more than one tape volume, creating a multivolume save set. When this occurs, BACKUP Manager fits as much data as it can on the first volume and then dismounts the volume. Depending on whether you specified more than one drive or whether you are using a tape loader, BACKUP Manager then does the following: · If you specified only one drive in the Output save set device-name field on the Save Volume screen, and you are not using a tape loader or operator assistance, BACKUP Manager prompts you to remove the tape that is in the drive and insert another one. After you insert and load the second volume (or after an operator fulfills the mount request), BACKUP Manager continues writing data to the second volume. · If you specified multiple drives, BACKUP Manager continues writing data to the second volume if: - The drive is loaded. - The drive is on line. - The drive has the correct volume label. BACKUP Manager unloads the first volume and resumes the operation on volume 2. · If you are using an automatic tape loader, BACKUP Manager continues writing data to the tape in the next slot, assuming the tape loader has an adequate supply of correctly labeled tapes. BACKUP Manager rewinds and unloads the first tape and resumes the operation on volume 2. As a safeguard against initializing or writing the wrong tape, BACKUP Manager compares the label that you specify in the Tape label(s) field to the label of the tape in the drive.
