Research into onbar

I am trying to find out if anybody has any experiences of using onbar in an "emergency" situation. Especially with an "imported" restore or a "rename files" situation. I would be interested in knowing what operating system, what versions of IDS, and what backup storage manager was being used, and what caused the "emergency". This is part of some research I am doing into "emergency" backup and restore of databases and operating systems. Good and Bad experiences are equally important. Regards Malcolm

In my experience of "emergencies" onbar is find but ISM has its limitations. ISM is "legato light" and is really only intended for backup and recover on a standalone system If clients have other business requirements then they should look at "proper" archive and storage managers such as Tivoli and full Legato

Train people to learn another product just to be able to backup/ restore a database? Surely Informix should be able to backup/restore the database in the same way that DB2, Oracle, Sybase and MSSQL can without replying on another product?
