Re: Backup of logical logs

Hi Bill It would help if you could give the following information - Backup device type (tape?) TAPEDEV from the onconfig file, and what follows, till the end of the LTAPEDEV sectionwhat the error code is as a temporary solution, set the TAPEDEV and LTAPEDEV parameters to NUL, and that will get you going again, but you won't be backing up your logical logs. If you have a tape, the installation program should have set the TAPEDEV and LTAPEDEV parameters to the correct value. If not, I can't remember off hand how NT addresses it's tape devices, but I think it's something like \\\\.\\TAPE0 or something similar you'll also find www.informix.com/answers a good resource, as it is full of .pdf files on informix. I dare say the problem lies with the TAPEDEV parameter, but Informix does need some logical log space to be able to back up the logs, and if they are completely full, it won't even be able to do that. Hope this helps Regards Mark > IIUG folks, > > HELP!!! I'm a new user of Informix Target NT (Dynamic Server 7.30) and > am having problems backing up my )filled) logical logs.
