It is very nice to have world class PDQ and so on, but we need some basic features with our engine. We have 28+ Gb database backup problems. I had to drop 7.1 due to errors in "ontape". I looked at onarchive, AND IT IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEMS. I agree - it looks just like a new night- mare. The top of my "wishlist": Unattended backup Support for stackers, and autom. tape shift Volume check on backup tapes. Tape check program - to verify a tape without doing a restore Backup and restore on "chunk" level. Flexible restore. I would be very glad to hear about any new developments from INFORMIX. If they want "beta" testers, or just to get some idea of what we customers want to have, they are certainly welcome to contact us. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Tom Jakobsen Email: tja@pfa.dk | | PFA Pension Phone: +45 31207711 | | Sundkrogsgade 4 Fax : +45 31207875 | | DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark | +-------------------------------------------------------+
