Backing up different levels

ontape -s -L 0 will back up the entire database instance.

If you wish to take another backup but save space on your storage device, you can run ontape -s -L 1 but remember to back up to a different target and you will need to restore the level 0 archive first, then this one.

Level 2 archives backup everything since the last level 1.

If you have the space and the resources, I would do level 0 as often as possible to many different targets.

The target is set in the onconfig TAPEDEV token
