Method:
We have an empty filesystem having size 1400GB. We ftp all the dump files in this filesystem which were already compressed on other AIX lpars using compress command. When the 1400GB filesytem gets 100% full we start taking the backup on LTO5 cartridge using find * -print|backup -ivf '/dev/rmt0' '-U'
This is the whole procedure.
