If you restore an archive, it goes back exactly as it was. On the other hand, a tbunload/tbload *will* unfragment the tables. The only thing tbload does not do, is squish the table down to a smaller size if many rows have been deleted. -- Naomi Walker (aka N7FSA) | naomi@anasazi.com | Phoenix, Arizona ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dyslexsics, Untie! | Visualize Whirled Peas
