Re: onbar restore question

Bill, If you want to play safe and save some time. How about leaving untouched the ixbar file and then try the following onbar -r -w -p -t "2004-09-01 xx:xx:xx" where xx:xx:xx is your time stamp on the 1st of the month. (usually I chosen sometime right after the completion of the backup I wanted to restore). That time seems to be very flexible, it does not have to be exact. Then restore logs to the point in time of "2004-09-06 07:00:00" onbar -r -l -t "2004-09-06 07:00:00" This should definitely work for you too.

Hypothetically, say I want to restore from the monthly level 0 to a point in time of 2004-09-06 07:00:00. So I edit the ixbar file and remove the entries for all the level 0's since the monthly and leave just the logs. Will this work? Will onbar do logical restore on the logs after the other level 0's? Is there anything written to the logical logs to indicate that a level 0 backup took place? Bill sending to informix-list sending to informix-list
