Yes indeed. IDS 7.3 comes with the Informix Storage Manager, a "lite" form of Legato, bundled with the product. It provides better-than-ontape capabilities and an easy upgrade to the enterprise-wide archiving power of the full Legato product. You can also use other XBSA- compliant products, such as HP's OnmiBack and IBM's ADSM. The best part of the whole package is Archecker, so you don't have to gamble with your archives. ;) Clem >Carlos Bolden >Database Administrator >Harrah's Entertainment > >Clem Akins wrote in message <7856fe$19n$1@news.xmission.com>... >> >>You should consider attending the "7.3 Features" class.
