Hi!
You dont have to manipulate your ixbar file.
Simply use a point in time restore to do the job. You can use either
"onbar -r -t" to a specific point in time or "onbar -r -n" to a certain
logigal log number.
I would prefer "onbar -r -n" because -t option has a few bugs in earlier
versions and if you want to restore to the ponit of level 0 (week 1),
you simply have to find the logical log, that was switched right after
the backup was completed (online.log).
