Does anyone know if this has been realized yet ? What I would like to achieve is disk-mirroring from one system to another. From what I can see, the disk-mirroring abilities of INFORMIX ON-LINE 4.0 (which we are using :') will not support mirroring databases to remote systems. Can anyone expand on this or point me in a different direction ? -- Al Parker P.Eng, Sr Consultant with Gellman, Hayward & Partners Ltd and part-time M.Eng student at U-T 33 Yonge St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5E 1G4 UUCP:alp%ghp@mnetor.uucp, Voice: (416)862-0430
