The way we have it in past on Unix buy running 'ontape -c' through the command 'nohup'. this will put the ontape process in the background and detach its PID from any session. -----Original Message----- From: Toby Atkinson-Smythe [mailto:Toby_AtkinsonSmythe@mailshack.com] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 4:21 AM To: Informix List (comp.databases.informix) Subject: Automated Continuous Log Backups? Can you possibly help? We are setting up a server with 4 or 5 small instances running IDS 9.30.UC4 on Unixware 7.1.1 Due to the number of instances, the Logical Logs are written to disk as they fill, and then archived to tape every evening. Is there a way to automatically and continuously backup the Logical Logs to a file without tying up windows running ontape -c ? Yours in gratitude Toby
