Re: Re: onbar -b -L 0

Hi All, I encountered the same error... The backup intitiated using "onbar" through veritas is not working... it stopped when the "onbar_d -b -L 0" is initiated. But it is working when the backup is initiated manually by informix using the same script being called by the Veritas user. Kindly help. Thanks,

Hi, so I guess that means that your Veritas environment does not start the onbar backup as user informix, no? (You could edit the onbar shell script to add some "debug" output to some "debug output file" to verify this theory. The command to use would be "id -a", I think.) Only users "informix" or "root" or members of the group "bargroup" can run onbar successfully. If you want to run onbar as a user other than "informix" or "root", then you have to create the UNIX group "bargroup" and add the respective users to it. All this should be well documented in the "Backup and Restore Guide" manual.
