Hi I am trying out onbar - omniback integration and the backup works just fine. However, the problem starts when I try restore. It simply takes too long to restore - almost 3 times ontape time. The output of bar_act.log shows that onbar takes a long time between dbspaces. For eg., after connecting successfully to the storage manager it takes 20 minutes to start restoring the first dbspace. It happens even in serial whole restores and no logs are being salvaged. BAR_NB_XPORT_COUNT is 50 BAR_NB_XPORT_SIZE is 31. This is a very small instance. Anybody seen this? I also have another problem. Although onbar finishes backup the omniback session does'nt die for a long time. This normally does'nt affect anything, but problems starts when we try restoring. The salvage log session does'nt die and the restore has to wait for that to complete.
