RE: Any experience with log restore from disk

You need to test your log backup strategy. I suspect that it may not work. We have similar situations, but create the log, then move it in ALARMPROG. AFAIK you cannot change LTAPEDEV during the restore. mw -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.iiug.org]On Behalf Of sleesingchan@my-deja.com Sent: Friday, May 26, 2000 9:37 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Any experience with log restore from disk Hello, I just setup my log backups to run continuously to disk using "ontape -a" and got it working with the ALARMPROGRAM in the onconfig file. So that each time a log fills, a new disk log file is created with the time stamp by changing the LTAPEDEV value in onconfig. I haven't tested it with a restore yet though. But I now realise that there could be a problem when trying to restore the logical logs. How do I restore the logs from multiple disk log files? After I point LTAPEDEV to the first disk log file and I restore this, does ontape then prompt if there are more logical logs to restore? How would I restore the other disk logs? Since the ontape session is already running, I doubt that I can dynamically change the LTAPEDEV value!! Does anyone have any ideas? Samuel Lee. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
