Re: 300GB magnetic requirement - can Informix handle it?

We have a database somewhere around 300-400GB with Informix Online v7.11 and have no problems. We use Onarchive for archiving. This is kind of a pain because of how many tapes it takes to archive, but we are working on a process to automate the task. Version 7.X allows you to back up certain dbspaces which simplifies the archiving of an instance this big. In article <3129DCEF.406C@tasc.com>, "Seth J.
