Subject:  dbbackups on the same volume


Hi!
We are using ADSM 3 1 2 30 for WinNT and SCSI optical libr.3995C68. The
current ADSM database  size is smth like 100Mb. We are using 5.2Gb RW
cartridges for database backup. Is it really so:
1. 5.2Gb cartridge is used as dbbackup volume (less then 2%) only (until
next dbbackup version appear and previous expired)?
2. Next version (full dbbackup) can not be placed on this volume?
3. Every new dbbackup, full or incremental, can be done only on new
(scratch) volume?
The product is new for us and the documentation seemes to be not
corresponding. That's why detailes are needed.
Thanx for all.

P.S.:If smth is wrong with my questions, then I wonder why could not I
write ADSM dbbackups on the same volume day after day.
