Hi there, We in the process to upgrade UNIX 4.3.3 and Informix 7.31 to UNIX 5.2 and Informix 9.31. One of the first steps is to setup a complete development area, migrating 596750.00 meg of live data. The plan: Do a complete restore on a QA server, upgrade the QA server to Informix 9.31, not upgrading the operating system, do a onbar level 0 back to tape of the upgraded Informix server. Restoring the backup onto UNIX 5.2 Informix 9.31 migration server. This process will have to happen frequently to ensure that current data are used for testing. Will this work? Any other suggestions?
