As in my first posting you will see that I state that there is 2 hard
drives, the one is the C drive where the
OS is and the other the D drive where the database is. There is 300 MB +
space left.

What happens on the D drive is that the previous gbk file get overridden
with the new backup and then this gbk file gets written to the
tape drive.

I hope that helps
