Im trying to get a reliable unattended backup over Oracle 7.3.4.1 on AIX
4.3 using SQL*Backtrack to tape via ADSM. We dont have enough disk to
backup to a disk pool and have ADSM come along and write it to tape
later. The error I get is intermittent, and looks like the tape is not
ready, however, the SysAdm says it is ok.

Ive heard a rumor that there is a bug when you try to go directly to
tape, but I cant confirm it. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
