Hello All,
I am asking a silly question, but I have never worked on this.
When I use,
db2ckbkp -d
.\tape0 -> What exactly is "
.\tape0" how do I get this info for my tape which is already mounted on the Server?
Hi,
this is the name of the tape device being used.
Please check the following notes:
199662 DB2 Backup on Windows 2000
141872 Specifying the buffer size for backup
And see the following link:
[Backing up to Tape|http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/c0006201.htm ]
Regards,
Paul

Hi,
db2ckbkp -d \\.\tape0
.\tape0 is a Tape Device Name which is connected to the Windows Server, from where you want to verify DB2 Backup image.
Under Windows Server , the tape device name is addressed with
.\tape0.
Under Unix the same thing is addressed with /dev/rmt0, /dev/mnt0, etc.

Hi,
The default when a tape device is detected it will prompt the user to mount the tape.
If the tape is already mounted, You can continue with the proposed option. Even you can see the Tape name under that Library info as suggested before using Computer Management console.
