Safe Way to Cancel an Informix (ontape) backup
Hi Guys,
I have a large machine doing a backup at the moment, but the engine needs to
extend some chunks causing this error:
Extend chunk 209 failed. System archive in progress. Try again later.
Is there any risk in killing the ontape process to allow this extend complete?
IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 12.10.FC3
Linux nzs0d1svrpi01m 2.6.18-371.8.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Mar 28 05:53:58 EDT 2014
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10 (Tikanga)
Cheers,
James Brunskill
