My understanding is that each db backup process requires a new tape.

>
> Hello,
> I have a problem with my adsm 2.1 server with aix.
> If I issue "backup db devclass=3590class type=full" command,
> The adsm server searched for dbbk.1 volume.
> Because I heard that dbbk.1 represents scratch volume, I made a
> scratch
> volume.
> So, the command was successful.
> After that, I issued " backup db devclass=3590class type=incremental"
> the ADSM server searched for the dbbk.1 volume too.
> The symptom was same when I install adsm server with my 4mm tape
> device.
> What this means?
> Whenever I want to backup db, new scratch volume is needed?
> What's wrong with my ADSM server setup?
