It communicates with a storage manager (Legato Networker, HP OmniBack, etc). Onbar itself only works with the Informix data. The storage manager is responsible for placing the data in a safe place, and obviously, retrieving it. I'm in the process of bringing up an Informix engine, using OmniBack II as a storage manager. My DBA and I are doing some disaster recovery tests over the next couple of weeks. After a couple of initial hiccups, it looks like Onbar/OmniBack are really going to spoil me. ------------------------------- Views expressed are my own, not necessarily my employer's.
