OnBar/DLT (was Logical Logs to Disk?) ✗ Answered: red (solid confidence) — The specific ask (practical experience running onbar with HP Omniback as the storage manager) is not answered; the reply only points to FAQ coverage of a different combination (onbar + Legato Networker) and asks for volunteers to document Omniback.

Advisory only.

>One last thing...Onbar is really what you should be talking about. I know >many sites are still using ontape, but one of the things that onbar (with a >robust storage manager) does very well is to automate the continuous backup >of logical logs to tape. I couldn't imagine life without it now. I've seen several things in the Deja News archives that mention using onbar with a storage manager, specifically HP Omniback. I'm getting ready to implement that at my site, but have seen nothing specific. Beyond what the manuals say, is there anything from the folks that have done this before that might qualify as an entry in the FAQ? Thanks, David

I'd like someone to do - OnBar + ISM (which my clients are crying out for..) simple guide to replacing ontape -c for continuous logging to a tape device but automated... simple guide to automating level 0/1 archives to a single tape device. I'd do this myself but I don't have a machine running 7.30 to play with as our development machine only runs SE 7.1!! Grrr! For a decent job.. or would someone lend me a Sun with Online 7.3x to play with??? Those Linux kernel hackers get hardware so easy ...Mumble.. Mumble... I can't even get 7.30.UC5 for Linux as my downloads keep timing out ..Mumble ..Mumble ...Ramble ..Howl.. How can I get anywhere without a decent setup to play with.. Aaarrgh!
