However, we did get a workaround from Informix Tech. Supt. There's an environmental variable called 'ARCHIVE_TEST=Y' that you can set that will allow you restore any dbspace that is not marked as down using the 'onbar -r dbspacename' command. We have used it and it works. Hope this helps you. -- Melvin Mariney, Informix DBA e-mail: melvin.mariney2@bridge.bellsouth.com
