When u want to use onbar and ontape combination, run continuous logical log backup sothat onbar doesn't backup the logical log while doing level 0,1,2 backups. It errors out with the message :"WARNING: A log backup is already running. Can't start another." Physical restore using onbar and logical restore usign ontape works 100% in this case. I have done it twice. Thanks, Abhay.

Martin > Informix Database Administrator > Kmart Corp. I have to doubt it. If you make a database backup with onbar, finally the logical logs are also backed up. These logical logs cannot be backed any more, ontape will not have them. If you make a physical restore with onbar the database is restored as far as the point where the first logical log file began to be backed up with onbar. But you can not restore this log with ontape because it has not it. These logs can be reloaded only with onbar.
