Backup / restore question on IDS 9.20.UC3

We are trying to automate the backup / restore process. First we backup the production system to files, move them and restore them to the backup system. We try onarchive but we have to abort it since it is taking too long. Does anyone know how we can tune onarchive to make it run faster? Or should we use onbar or ontape instead to perform this task? Thanks, Tony

If you want to use a product with a crap interface, where you have to define every variable at least twice, and in two different places, wish to receive unintelligible error messages at unpredictable times, and have the excitement of not knowing at restore time whether or not your restore will actually hang together, then onarchive is your product. Otherwise use ontape/onbar. <chowyy@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:39A17393.B8B26F13@genuity.com... > We are trying to automate the backup / restore process.
