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).
