Re: Help backing up logs to disk.

My NT knowledge is limited; however, Carlton Doe wrote an Informix book based upon NT that might address it. You might want to go to your local technical book store and see if they have a copy of his book and review it in store to see if it has a chapter on archiving (with ON-Bar). Take care.

The name of the book is: _Administering Informix Dynamic Server on Windows NT_ by Carlton Doe He covers the use of ON-Bar with ISM very thoroughly. Wynne "Clifton M.
