Michael,
When I did some bigasm work on Windows, I used the following:
===== bigasm.file =====
<< ./ >>
bigasm -S100G : bigasm.test
====================
===== bigasm.bat =====
echo "" | time
save -s nsrserverhost.uvm.edu -f c:\bigasm.file c:\bigasm.test
echo "" | time
====================
====== bigasm.test ======
bigasm -S100M : bigasm.test
======================
That wrote 100GB file to wherever I had configured that client to go...
(and you will want to replace nsrserverhost.uvm.edu with your own
networker server host name in the bigasm.bat file)

I'm trying to time the speeds of my LTO-4 drives, and I am following the
"Performance Tuning Guide". And I figured, let's time the backup of a 50G
file. I have large databases, some 3-6 times that large.
So I created a file - d:\temp\bigasm-50G-directive.nsr - with this line:
bigasm -S50G : d:\temp\bigasm-test-50G.file
I also create a zero byte file, d:\temp\bigasm-test-50G.file.
Then, I do:
save -s admnman004 -f d:\temp\bigasm-50G-directive.nsr
d:\temp\bigasm-test-50G.file
and it seems to do ... nothing. It completes in a couple seconds. No way
it streamed 50G in 3 seconds ... the server log shows it wrotte all of 6K
to the drives. it looks for all the world like the "bigasm" directive was
ignored completely; it didn't stream anything to the tape drive at all,
apparently.
What am I missing?
