Can someone reconcile this for me:
> A disk file can also be specified with a file equation for
> storefile. An example of such a file equation would be:
>
> FILE MYDISC=DISCBACK.DAILY.BACKUP;DEV=DISC
>
> Note that DEV=DISC must be specified for STORE to recover files
> from disk backups. All other information in the file equation
> will be ignored by STORE. STORE creates a binary, fixed record
> file containing the backup data. This disk file can be restored
> using the same file equation for RESTORE.
>
> By default, STORE creates the disk file with a 4Gig limit. If
> the data being stored exceeds this, or an existing file with a
> smaller limit is specified for the backup, then STORE will create
> and write to additional disk files. It will append the "reel"
> number to the disk file name originally specified. For example,
> if the backup disk file specified was /SYS/BACKUPS/DAILY, and
> STORE ran out of room, it would create /SYS/BACKUPS/DAILY.2,
> /SYS/BACKUPS/DAILY.3, and so on. The additional files are
> HFS-named files.
Note the reference to an "existing file".
However, if you actually attempt this then you get an error:

Now, my question is: How does one test multi-reel STDs without
wasting huge amounts of disc space and network bandwidth? Do I
really HAVE to store and transmit more than 4Gbytes just to see if
I can get multiple STD reels off the HP3000 and back again in a
fashion that STORE can process?

Jim
