RE: restore with onbar and bcv: How to apply logs

Suggestion: When you restore the copy over on the second machine, just do a "physical" restore, and then start up HDR from the first server to the second. As long as you can live with the second server being in read-only mode, this will keep your second server constantly up-to-date with log records from the primary server.

Yes, provided you have the production ixbar in place on the test server, and you have the OB2BAR ... env variables set appropriately. I've never tried it though. sending to informix-list
