You are going to want to set RESTARTABLE_RESTORE on in your $ONCONFIG file while doing this. If anything goes wrong you can then just do a onbar -RESTART after correcting the problem. The amount of time it takes you to backup and restore seem excessive. I assume you are using a tape library since you are using onbar. Is that true? If so, are you using the parallel capabilities of onbar?
