Re: problem by restore with ontape

Hi All, We've had that happen when TAPESIZE (or TAPEBLK) differ from the settings when the backup was created. What happens is that ontape -r reads past the end of the valid data (or not far enough). Make sure that they are the same. If this posting has been helpful, return the favor by visiting: http://dbamon.com (Informix monitoring software).
