Hi everyone. Kind of a basic question here if you don't mind. I have a version 10 IDS database that takes daily onbar backups (using ISM) as well as dbi-weekly exports. If I wanted to recreate the database on another server (HP) that had the same OS and configuration as the original (IE: source server = target server) is it reasonable to assume that the following general method would work? 1-restore informix rdbms from unix backup 2-create dbspaces using onspaces 3-restore database using onbar backup Or would it perhaps make more sense and be necessary to A) reinstall Informix 10 and B) use the dbexport to recreate both the Informix 10 engine and the database? Thanks
