Hi,

   I'm trying to back up a single disk to a TZK10 using dump. The drive is an
RZ25 (426MB, with three partitions) and the TZK10 should be able to hold up
to 525MB. I am trying to backup the c partition, which should be the entire
disk (shouldn't it?). But dump asks for another tape very shortly after
starting the dump.

   My feeling is that dump is actually backing up the individual partitions,
and that it wants each partition on its own set of tapes. But I haven't found
this stated anywhere in the documentation. 

   Thanks in advance for any insight into this.

Ted
