ontape -a log backup to disk

Hi All, I using log_full.sh shell script to backup logical logs using "ontape -a" command as and when they get filled up. I opened a case with informix to make sure we can do logical log rollforward when it is backed up by "ontape -a". In the following message Informix tech support says that it cannot be done. I did the restore and it worked fine, my fear is that if I encounter any problem informix will not support it. Can anyone please let me know whether you done "ontape -a" command to backup logical logs to disk. If so what all should be taken care of.
