Re: ISM and 2 Gbyte file limits in IDS 9.4

I've had confirmation from the Support Chain (OpenPSL to Informix) that ISM can backup dbspaces with more than 2 Gbytes. Now they can't tell me when I have problems restoring that I shoul;dn't have backed up more than 2Gbytes in the first place - or can they? ;-) regards Malcolm --- Brian Grellinger <Brian.Grellinger@dhiac.com> wrote: > I've done backup/restore of 10GB dbspaces with > 9.40.FC2 on AIX5.2 64bit > with no problem. > > > Brian Grellinger > I.S.
