ontape -c

This isn't true, is it? You can restore all the logs you need up to the minute of the engine going down, assuming ontape -c was working and that you were able to recover the lastest logical log? (Yes, I am using 7.22!) Regardless, it still hangs when I try to do a restore and I don't know why. Even if it is true, it doesn't ask me what logical log to restore up to, so how could I specify this? > What is the correct way to stop a continuous backup of logical logs > through ontape -c? > > I'm currently testing backup and restore with ontape on a test instance. > When I go to do the restore, I've been using control-c to stop ontape -c > and it appears to like this.

I remenber in version 7.22.xxx (i'm not sure now :-(( ) never restore more logs that the number of logs defined in IDS. (if you have a tape with 40 logs and in your IDS you have defined 39 logs the proves never end) Good loock.
