Hi ... I turn to this group in despare ... I can't seem to get 'ontape -r' to restore. I've experimented with a lot of different settings in the onconfig file; and now I do get to backup the data to tape - but restoring will not work. I run Informix v. 7.30 UC6, the tape device is a DLT III-XT. I would greatly appretiate getting av copy of any working $INFORMIXDIR/etc/onconfig file :-) Yours, Tore Guttormsen tore.guttormsen@nospam.sds.no (exclude 'nospam')

What happens when you try to restore? Remember, you need to have the same chunks available on the target system as you have on the tape.
