RE: Informix and Omniback problems

Couple of things need to there: How many OmniBack license do you have. Is OmniBack seeing the different devices in the configuration files. Informix only uses the "/dev/null" device in the onconfig, when using onbar. Do not back up logical logs write them to /dev/null. anything else means write them to a backup device. There are some environment variables that need to be in the onconfig or the environment of the running process. If you need more info, write and I can look some of this stuff up. Wayne E.

I have successfully installed the integration and was able to complete a backup of the Informix dbspaces. The problem I am having is when I try to change the device that the backup is using. My library is a 2 drive device. I am changing the archive device in onconfig and also within the Omniback backup specification. As soon as the backup starts, I receive an "XBSA error" and the backup fails. The XBSA error reports an unknown system error occurred. If I change back to the original device within Omniback and also change onconfig back to the original setting, the backup functions correctly again. I did try to generate a completely new backup specification with the second drive and again it failed. I have talked to HP and they are no help. If you have seen this problem, I would appreciate any advice you could provide. Thanks, Craig A.
