Hi, I have to restore an old backup of the Informix database. The version is 7.31 and I'm running an imported restore (other server, not the same of the backup). But I have an error in logical restore. I think that the problem is the oncfg file. I'm looking for information about the format of the oncfg files. the document titled "Facts about the ONCFG file" say DBSpace row format Column Number 9: Date/Time of last level 0 archive Column Number 10: logical Log Unique Id where replay should begin Colum NUmber 11: Logical Log Position where replay should begin But, my oncfg file have negative numbers. For example: DBSpace 1 1025 1 1 956225267 14 0 -4611686017162471697 -4611686018427224954 9011224 -9223372032559645571 4611686022722355199 0 rootdbs informix Do you know what the negative numbers means ? Thank you in advance for any clues that could you provide me. Roger
