restoring to new instance with onbar

It is my understanding that you can not perform an onbar restore from an instance on one machine to an instance with a different name on another machine. I know this can be performed using ontape, but I just wanted to verify that it is not possible to do this using onbar. Thanks, Kirk Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Onbar backup each logical log and each dbspace of Informix database as a save set in storeage manager. For retrieve the exactly the save set when restore is needed, each save set have a label. For the label of dbspace saveset, it contain the Informix server name and etc. So you can't retrive data from SM to restore another instance that the instance name is diffrence from the backuped instance name.
