Dear managers
Thanks to the following for their replies (especially to Jay Lessert whose
instructions were very helpful). And yes it was in the manpages. There was
a suggestion to do an incremental backup. I tried that - but after a week,
I still had to do a full system backup.

Below is Jay's reply:
Yes, absolutely. ufsdump knows how to do this. Two ways:
1) Go back through the ufsdump man page and see the "l" (autoload)
flag.
2) Alternatively, use the "d" and "s" flags to tell ufsdump how long
you think the tape is; when you get it right, ufsdump will stop
after writing that much and ask for a new tape.
Option 1) is best because you will use all the tape, even if you're
using hardware compression (which makes the effective length of the
tape uncertain) without having to experiment with "d" and "s" flags.
regards
Shiroma

Subject: Backup related
Dear managers
I carry out a full system dump onto a DDS-2 cartridge. However, the
capacity on the tape is no longer enough for a full system dump. Is there a
method to change, the cartridge(when it has reached capacity) whilst the
backup is ongoing and insert a new cartridge?. At least two cartridges are
required. I am using a level 0 ufsdump to backup my system.
Thanks in advance, will sumarize.
Regards
Shiroma Dassanayake
