Hi, we have HW problem on our old archive server with SCO and Informix Online 5. We have backup on tape ( in ontape format ). We also have Informix 7.3 on Windows NT. Both computers are Intel based. It is possible to restore tape on our NT? In other words: is ontape backup compatible between IFMX versions (on same hardware platform)? Thanks Leos PS: We can repair old machine but transfer to NT is better solution for now.

No the SCO archive will not install on NT if you need to recover your OnLine 5 SCO data on your IDS 7 on Windows you will need to do a dbexport on the SCO system and a dbimport on the NT system
