The following is from the Backup and Restore Guide: "ONBar and the storage manager communicate with each other through the X/Open Backup Services Application Programmer's Interface (XBSA). By using an open system interface to the storage manager, ONBar is able to work with a variety of storage managers that also use XBSA." The guide also states that you can run a simulated backup which does not require the XBSA storage manager but that is not true. Informix said that by mid year they will provide a storage manager of their own but that it will be very limited in its capabilities compared to third party software. The vendors/products we are looking at for storage manager programs are, SCH Reel, Legato, IBM Adsm, Dbatools Sqlbackup, HP Omniback, Spectralogic Alexandria. There are others. To my best knowledge, Dbatools and Omniback are currently available on HPUX 10.10 while the others are in beta testing. For SUN, Legato is available now. For AIX, Adsm is available. We are still in the process of evaluating these products. We may be doing some beta tests in the next few weeks. Legato appears to be willing to trial their beta copy. If you recieve more info from any sources consider copying us too. thanks If you have backup hardware other than 4mm DAT tell how it performs. If you have 4mm what is the best performance you get? If you currently use onarchive what kind of performance are you getting from it and how do you have it configured to get the best performance. --------------4E6B160F7CF5--
