Write Log Records to Tape
The tbtape process begins copying each page in the logical log file to tape.
Whenthe last page in the log file is copied, the backup is complete. Figure 4-3
illustrates the order of information on the logical log backup tape.

logbackup session continues. The tbtape process waits until the next logical
log file becomes full.
