I am using Informix 7.31 on Solaris 7. If you have a dbspace with 50 chunks, you lose three chunks, so they are now marked down by informix, when you restore from tape (using onbar) will it only restore the 3 down chunks or all 50 chunks for that dbspace? Thanks

See the Backup and Restore Guide for exact details. Nona
