Hi everybody,
I wrote an SQL script to perform hot backup of db on a VMS platform.

This is a well-known technique, but on system there isn't space available 
neither expandable for backup on disk before putting it on tape, so I thought 
to backup each datafile directly to tape; is this correct or my backup sets 
will be unusable?

Apart from Legato, I've no previous practice of db backup directly to tape, 
particularly on VMS; I believe that this platform is not much different from 
Unix for this specific topic, but I could be wrong.

Has anybody some suggestion and/or experience to tell about?

Thanks for you help,

Alessandro
