I want to re-backup logs again. Can I reset is_backed_up flag?

Hi all, Our tape died. Logs that were saved to it are lost. I want to do an onbar -b -l again, but as the logs have been saved already, nothing is backup. Can I set the "is_backed_up" field to 0 in "syslogs" table of "systmaster" so that onbar will backup the logs again ?? Thanks, Isaac. sending to informix-list

No. It would be a useful facility, wouldn't it? However, if you have a current support contract, IBM Informix tech support *can* patch the logs for you to set their status back to "unbacked up".. However, it's far from straightforward, and (speculating here) they may only do it if you're a client with lots of clout.
