Hi, Do the ontape -s and ontape -r commands work between different versions of operating systems (HP-UX and Linux) but same version of IDS (version 10)? I want to backup on HP-UX using ontape -s and restore in Linux using ontape -r. Thanks,

There is no guarentee that this will work. It would be better to use another path to port your data.

You can only backup and restore on the same machine type, using the same version of the software. To go between machine types, you need to either use ER to replicate or use DB-Export and DB-Import. -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2011.0612 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused." --f46d040891315f836004c35b1fed
