If you only create Level 0 archives, answer no to Restore Level 1. You would answer yes in the event you had created a Level 1 archive after your most current Level 0. The Level 1 archives everything since your last Level 0, a Level 2 everything since you last Level 1. This is in the event you do not wish to do a complete Level 0 daily. If you just do Level 0's, you will onl need t restore the most current Level 0. > Hi > I backuped my system with ontape -s -L 0. I deleted the database.

Well.... You ONLY performed a level 0 backup so you CANNOT restore a level 1 backup because you do not have any level 1 backup that corresponds to the level 0 you have already restored. So? So reply 'n' no 'y'! Art S. Kagel Andreas Lommel wrote: > > Hi > I backuped my system with ontape -s -L 0. I deleted the database.
