Dear List,

We have UnixWare 7.1 and I want to take backup of Database files (Physical files) to my tape.

I did use tar command:

tar c8v1 /home/oradata

It's working properly but the problem is:

tar can't handle large files(larger than 2GB). The total size of the DB files under /home/oradata more than 2GB.

So the result I'll get some of those files not all.

Could any body in the list give me the alternative command of tar that can handle backup of large files or any other solution...

because I want to schedule this process.

Your help will be appreciated.

Regards,
