Ontape and onbar

Hi, Can I use onbar and ontape to backup an instance? I meant use onbar to send a backup on a storage and ontape to send another backup to the tape in diferents hours. Thanks in advance. Enviado desde mi iPhone

Yes. You can use onbar and ontape at different times to archive the instance. You just have to keep track of which is the most recent if you need to restore since you will have to locate the archive and restore it with the same tool. Onstat -g arc will only be able to tell you when the latest archive was taken, not which tool was used or where it was stored. Art Art S.

Also any log backups are not compatible between the onbar and ontape and for onbar a log backup may need to be restored.
