dumps]
Now, if I am requesting always full, I should never see an incremental. Right?
The message actually means something like: "even an incremental one is
too large".
Secondly what does the message mean? The file sizes are no larger than
usual. The particuar one above is only about 5.3G. Also, the amuont of data
written to tape is consistent with the backup being done sucessfully.
What is your tapesize set to? The size of that particular DLE is maybe
not enough, but the total sum of data is. In the amdump file you
can follow what planner thinks about the estimated sizes.
From the name of the DLE, I guess it is a backup of some NT already, so
probably the contents do change almost completely. Therefore an
incremental or full would be about the same size.
