It seems you are running out of space with the old 3590 technologie.
With 3592 and 300GB (uncompressed value) cartridges it will be OK.
But I believe thats not the answer you have expected...

Hi,

We're using TSM 5.2 and attached using single drive library (3590). Can

as one of our client has a database size og 400GB. We'll be doing full and
incremental backup . One drive consist of 10 slots and the tape capacity is
only 20Gb.
