Hi Greg! It is a good idea to do an ontape -s -L 0 before you start your tests with onbar. As long as you do Level 0 backups there is no problem in "mixing" onbar and ontape. Be careful with log log backups. If you have done a log log backup once with onbar, you cant recovery these logs for the use with ontape any more and vice versa. Martina
