One of the SEC requirements (17a-4) is to preserve your records on Write Once Read Many (WORM) devices. Our Back Office system records are stored in IDS (7.31 FD6). The application is a 4gl based one. We use ontape to backup and restore the database. The backups are to DAT which we re-cycle periodically. Does anybody out there know of a "cheap" WORM storage device that we can archive our Informix database to and restore easily enough from if required to by the SEC/NASD. Thks, John.
