Re: ontape -s to disk

Guys, I don't want to spoil the party here, but how do you all identify if the backup succeeded, or if Informix sent a message "please insert the next tape and press return". this will occur if you archive exceeds the size of your TAPEDEV as defined. this is why IBM informix general don't support archives taken using ontape and a script as there is little if any error handling done so some months - and archive after archive - later your restore fails with a message "Please insert the second tape" and you don't have one. oh and .... "I rather use onbar with ISM, but no $$$" both onbar and ISM are included with the 7 and 9 servers so I'm not sure you need $$$s.
