The storage manager is responsible for archive output location when onbar is used because the storage manager will have to be able to locate the files in case of a restore request. So, you'll have to set that up in netbackup if you can. Art S. Kagel ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Price <ids@iiug.org> To: ids@iiug.org At: 11/12 16:09:45 I'm migrating an Informix enviroment to the datacenter of our parent company. They use Netbackup as the storage mgr (we use TSM). The Netbackup agent for Informix is installed and onbar configured to use it. Netbackup is taken down everyday from 1100-1300 for 'maintenance'. This, of course, causes any log backup to fail; if there is a batch job running, the logs will fill. Due to the above, I'd like to be able to direct onbar to write to disk first and let Netbackup take care of getting it off to tape later. We do this with TSM, using a 100GB disk pool. Our Oracle databases have a parameter (LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST) which allows you to specify a disk location for log offloads. I've not found anything in the Informix doc. that would allow this to be done using Onbar (maybe I've missed something?). Any help, as always, would be appreciated.

thanks. that's pretty much what I'd figured but wanted to check with those with more experience than I have. Appreciate the reply.
