Sure, if your physical/logical logs were on another disk or on tape, you should have been able to restore your data back to that chunk, then roll that thing forward until it was current. Might have taken quite a while if it had been a while since your last level 0, but at least you would have been up until your point of disk hiccup. --Doug -- Doug Mason, Windows Czar Informix Software, Inc. dmason@informix.com Menlo Park, Ca 94025 +01 415.926.6917
