We frequently perform this type of restore with ADSM. You must make OnBar and your Storage Manager function like it is restoring data to the Informix instance from which the backup was taken. The exact methods depends your storage manager. -----Original Message----- From: dday@rheem.com [mailto:dday@rheem.com] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 06:49 To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: onbar restore to another host How can I restore an onbar dbspace backup from one host to another? The instances are exactly the same, except for they run on different HP-UX machines. I'm running HP-UX 10.20 and Informix 7.24. Thanks, David Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

Make sure the name of the instances are the same (eg. if you backed up instance prod1, then you need to restore to an instance named prod1). Copy the ixbar.X file relating to the primary instance from the original machine to the restore machine. The server number can be different but you'll need to make sure the new ixbar.X file reflects the instance number of the instance you are restoring to. Edit the ixbar.X file and remove logs, leaving only the dbspaces from the session that you want to restore. Take the engine offline and begin the restore.
