Symptom

Key word: BRBACKUP

When you back up to tape using the BRBACKUP tool, the end of the
tape is reached, and cpio reports the following under UNIX:
BR278E Command ... cpio ... :
"End of tape.", "End of media", "End of volume" (according to platform)
or "Cannot prompt for more media" ...
Under NT the following message is issued:
cpio: write error on file "...": The physical end of the tape has
been reached.
BR279E Return code from ... cpio ...
BR222E Copying ... failed.
BRBACKUP terminates with errors.
Other Terms
Reason and Prerequisites
There are several different possible causes:
1. tape_size specified too large in init<SID>.sap
2. The compression rates used internally by BRBACKUP during hardware
compression are no longer up-to-date. BRBACKUP therefore tries to
save too many files on one tape. This situation occurs if the dummy
compression (compress = only) was executed a long time ago or
directly after a database reorganization, after a larger data copy
or after a release upgrade.
