onbar backup logical logs

Hi All, I am using onbar to backup my informix 7.31 databases with Legato networker. I dont want to backup my logical logs. Before using onbar, with ontape, I backed up my logical logs to /dev/null. How can I do that with onbar and Legato networker. Thanks for any help _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus sending to informix-list

You can leave LTAPEDEV set to /dev/null and the engine will identify that the logs are to be backed up to a special device and effectively discard them, just as it did with your ontape. You then dodn;t need to back up the logs with any onbar command. You may want to check that you can recover your archive as I think some backup options with onbar may require your logical logs to be able to restore the archive, unlike ontape. People with more onbar experience than I have may be able to confirm.

This, in effect, is the same as an ontape backup, as there is no parrelisim.
