Hi netters,
I'm using Oracle V6 based on NCR Unix, and I want to backup the system by cron nightly. As part of it, I want to export Oracle database to tape directly. When I called Oracle Support, they let me put the device name after the equal sign of file, which is 'file=/dev/rmt/c0t1d0s0' at the command line after exp user/pass. And I did. But it still asked the volume size, which is 'volume size (<ret> for no restriction)>'. This means I still cannot export it automatically.
QUESTION: Is there any way to have the <return>for Volume Size answered automatically, or as a parameter that I can feed to the procedure in a shell script.
Thank you very much in advance!
