O/L 7.22 for AIX, using ADSM as the storage manager. I have used ON-Bar to perform level-0 and level-1 archives whilst continuously backing up my logical logs also via ADSM to the same tape device. I set ALARMPROGRAM to $INFORMIXDIR/etc/log_full.sh to automate the log backup. Everything works seamlessly. Dan
