Hi Is it possible to restore a single database using onbar or is it the complete instance ?

If your database is located in a single dbspace or it is located in multiple dbspaces and there are no tables from other databases located in these dbspaces, you could restore just them. So this would be a database restore. However you will not be able to perform a point-in-time recovery on individual dbspaces. Point-In-Time Recovery is only allowed on the whole instance. You might think about creating separate instances for your databases, but this will also increase the administration overhead.

So this would be a database restore. And if this is the case, then ontape can do this as well. -- "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche
