Does anyone have any 1st hand experience of using OnBar in conjunction with BCV. Have you run a restore? Did it work OK?

Does anyone have any 1st hand experience of using OnBar in conjunction with BCV. Have you run a restore? Did it work OK? We use it as our principal backup/restore strategy at a retailer in NW London. We've never had to restore in anger but in testing it's worked fine - we've also restored to a DR machine using the technique. One downside is that, using HP Data Protector, a 45-second-odd delay is intorduced before each log is applied (even when they're all sequentially on the same tape). If you have, say, 100 logs that's an hour-and-a-quarter added to your restore time. We had calls open with HP and IBM but never actually got to the bottom of whether it was an onbar or a DP problem.
