Hi, no idea about your DD problem, but why do�nt you simply perform an out-of-bound backup to a disk (device type=file) instead?
If you can afford the extra CPU and disk last generated through additional backup process, you will have supported configuration without extra external steps during backup and during restore. regards juraj -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Horst Scherzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 31.

My goal is to create an 1:1 image of a database backup tape to (remote) disks during unattended times. Use of dd (dd read error: Not enough space) or cat (creates a file white length 0) fails. tcopy works well for creating a copy to tape, but: Is a there a similar (OS) tool for my concern? Platform is AIX 4.3.3_09, TSM is 5.1.6.1.
