This method can only be restored with onbar -r -w . The advantage is that logical logs are not required for the restore. onbar -b means to use parallel processes to back up the dbspaces. This method can only be restored using onbar -r and logical logs are required for the restore. At one site where I consult we are using exactly the same software combinations that you have and the backups go fine. However, the restores only work some of the time. We have been told that we need Omniback II 2.55. Good Luck Don Pearson donpearson@aol.com dpearson@jonesday.com
