ontape verification

Hey Keith, Open onmonitor, as in $INFORMIXDIR/bin/onmonitor. Then choose status on the ring menu, it's the first selection, then archive. This will give you exactly what your looking for. As a more systematic option you may also use the informix Alarm Program to verify backups. It's a quick and easy setup - if you don't have the engine manual it could get tricky. We've got ours sending us an email when our backups occur as an ongoing log. If you need more help I'll be happy to tell you what I can. Thanks
