Why do you want to do it? i had a hard disk failure where 3 out of 4 databases on the bad disk where operational. at the time we used tape and did a level 0 backup of each database which we restored to the new location. it occurred to me that it would much faster if i could simply copy the logical volume. thanks for the feedback. /pc >Yours, >Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
