Informix Database Backup Error

Submitted by chrismutia on Mon, 03/21/2005 - 03:10

Hi Guys,

I am not able to perform a level 0 backup on our informix database because I keep getting these error messages:

function write to tape failed code -1 errno 6
function could not write archive tape. failed code -1 errno 6
function put arc data failed code -1 errno 6
Archive failed - function write to tape failed code -1 errno 6

Please help in troubleshooting this one out. Bec we really need to perform a full backup on the system.

Thanks!

Chris

This is an error from the operating system. Have a look at the messages log file to see what's the problem. It could be caused by any number of hardware failures -- a dirty tape drive, a bad cable or even a bad tape etc...
