Also, when we found this error As soon as that message showed up, I 'ftp'ed to Encore.com, and quickly found the files. I am not sure if they were in pub, or in an obviously name subdirectory of pub.

There may be good reasons for multiple dump files on a single volume. But why would you ever want multiple dump files across two volumes. That seems to be asking for trouble. Have you ever thought about how you would do an interactive restore, when it asks you to load the second volume first -- how will you correctly reposition the first volume when it is called for? -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
