Re: Ontape and STDIO

ontape to standard STDIO is one of the coolest inventions yet. I pipe it through tee and create a gzipped backup at the same time that I rsh it to set up another test instance or replicatate on another box. I have also restored to the same box using the chunk renaming settings. It makes setting up duplicate test instances less of a head ache.
