RE: Using an autoloader tape drive to receive level-0 archives?

I've used my tapes a couple of times, and works everytime .... But I'm not using any 3rd party software - just ontape and normal Unix scripting ;-) -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of malcolm weallans Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 8:29 AM To: 'Andy Lennard'; informix-list@iiug.org Subject: RE: Using an autoloader tape drive to receive level-0 archives? Andy, Recently tried disaster recovery from one of these. Not easy at all. Did it in the end but question if it is worth the hassle. Our test was an exercise. In a live situation .... DBA would be dead Regards Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Andy Lennard Sent: 13 May 2004 10:26 To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Using an autoloader tape drive to receive level-0 archives? I guess there must be an easy answer to this, but I can't find it... If an autoloader is used to receive a level-0 archive, would I need to use any 'custom software' on a Solaris2.6 server running IDS 7.31? Or do the tapes just follow each other in sequence, as if by magic, so long as set the correct parameters in the onconfig. Many thanks, Andy. sending to informix-list ________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed 773 Spam messages and set aside 426 Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! www.ellaforspam.com sending to informix-list
