Re[2]: Onarchive
If you assign each database its own dbspace you can then restore the
databases individually using ontape. With 90 databases this may become
an administrative nightmare. Maybe you could group them into logical
groupings or use a naming standard like dbspace name = database name.

Do yourself two favors:
1. Migrate to >= 7.23x or 7.3x soon.
2. Forget OnArchive, Informix has and it's all your worst nightmares.
Use Ontape for smaller, simpler systems, onbar if you need parallel
backup or point in time recovery.
As for recovering one database at a time, that could be a tough one,
I'll be interested to see the other responses you get. That's a bunch
of databases on one instance, may I ask why so many??
