Hi Trevor, You may want to check your chunksize. I have mine set to 1GB so large backups are split into 1GB files. Additionally you may need, even on Solaris 8, to update tar & gzip such that they will be able to handle the larger files.
You could also effect this in your disklist. Rather than having an entry such as: systemname /export/home comp-root-tar You could have more than one entry, breaking down the directories into individual dumps: systemname /export/home/dir1 comp-root-tar systemname /export/home/dir2 comp-root-tar systemname /export/home/dir3 comp-root-tar I am not certain these are the best solutions, but I am pretty sure they will work. Best of luck! Jeff -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jeffery Smith - Systems Administrator - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Sky Computers, Inc.
