Urgent !!! logbackup gives an error at the end.

We migrate our production server to another system, have to restore from backup. After restoring backup, I tried starting logical log files backup to see everything is OK with the new system. When I cancel it by CTRL-C it gives the following error message. ================================================ Performing continuous backup of logical logs. Please mount tape 1 on prime:/dev/rmt/0 and press Return to continue ... ^C Interrupt received ... Log files may be lost, full system archive is required. Logbackup interrupted. Server is down - buc_fe.c : Archive API processing failed at line 445 for rc Program over. ================================================ As seen in the above listing, we are using a remote backup device. Although,it says in the error message that the server is down, when I check informix, it is up. However, even if online.log file stands that logical logs are backup, after logical log backup cancelling it onstat - l says differently, no files were backup. Whats happenning !!!!!! We need to start logical log backup as soon as possible. Thanks for your support. Best regards, Yener KILIC Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Yes, I have tried it. It's okay. But, we need to have a continues backup. Using differenct tape for each automatic logical log backup is not practical for us. It also needs user intervetion. Yener.
