Im am using the onbar utility of INFORMIX V7.23 with NetWorker. The hardware platform is a risc system from SNI (Siemens Nixdorf) called rm600 and the system software is a UNIX System V (SINIX V5.43). Now my problem. I have set LTAPEDEV to /dev/null because I don't want to use the locical logs for a restore. But everytime I want to restore the database from a whole physical system backup with the command onbar -r -w, the locical logs which are not set to F(ree) will be backed-up before the restore begins. Since INFORMIX does not really free logical logs if LTAPEDEV=/dev/null, after an appropriate online time of INFORMIX all logical logs are set to U---B (used and backed-up). The result is, that after the physical restore a logical restore will be done. My question is. How can I restore a physical system backup with onbar without saving the logical logs ?
