production archive

Hi all I am currently preparing a Solaris 2.6 / Informix DS 7.23.UC4 machine for production with respect to archive and restore procedures. I am currently using ontape ( to a tape drive) to do this with....my only "beef" is the fact that I need logical logs to do a warm restore. (Or cold ). What if a user *accidently* deletes a database and frantically wants it back? In doing a warm restore of the space, it will recover just fine until you apply the logs that contain the "delete" transaction which will just remove it. Any ideas? As far as production archive and restore procedures what do most of you all out there use? Is ontape sufficient? Do you also dbexport? What kind of cycle do you use? I'd like to use onbar except I don't have a storage manager on this machine. TIA, Maria -- -------------------------------------------------------- Maria L.
