Re: physical / virtual tape backup file at a time

You make the dir for the files MKDIR '/vtape'

You Load the bugger up: LODIMGCLG VTAPE TAPEVRT01

Then initialize the the tape with INZTAP and then DUPTAP the file you want.

Justin,

Thanks for you response but we want to copy one file from a physical
tape drive to a virtual tape to transfer to another iSeries. We don't
want to duplicate the entire tape (DUPTAP). We don't have enough disk
space to copy more than one file from the physical tape drive to the
virtual. So the iSeries commands we want to learn would be to create a
virtual tape with no more than 10 GB space used and then copy file #7
from the physical tape drive to that virtual tape.

Thanks,

Adrienne
