I guess the mode is in sequential mode, I have never had to configure it.  I
initialize the tapes one by one myself and give each tape a unique
identifier.  Our nightly saves work fine over multiple volumes after a
little tweaking with the advice of the MAPICS-L.

Bryan,

Which mode is your drive in? Our drive is in random (R) mode, and we've had
no issues. Also, are your tapes initialized or cleared/expired before use?

We use BRMS which may handle some issues for us. But I remember in the past
we had a home-grown save program which worked fine over multiple volumes.

HTH,
Loyd

Subject: Load next volume during unattended GO SAVE 21 

I intend to set off a GO SAVE option 21 from the console Friday afternoon
with a start time of 0245.  I will be saving to a MAGSTAR 3570 and the save
will tape four tapes.  In the past, this save operation generates  a message
to load the next volume when a tape is full , even though the 3570 auto
loads the next tape.  How do I prevent this message so I can run a true
unattended save?  I don't get such a message during our nightly MAPICS
backup which takes two tapes.
