I could do a cold restore with : this set. If you set LTAPEDEV to /dev/null, Informix will mark logical logs to reusable when they become full without requiring you to back them up (LONGTX's not withstanding). Thus, you will be throwing away the logical log data. If you run onarchive parallel backups (and restores), you will need to apply logical logs which you will not have if you are throwing away the logical log data.
