Re: Backing up Informix on SGI

Kevin: Yes ISM will be missing features that Legato and Veritas have. The ISM product is actually a sub-set of the legato product. Some of the major limitations are that it will only handle 4 tape drives, can not use remote tapes (ie the tape drives must be phyiscally attached to the machine you are backing up) and it will not handle tape vaults. Hope that helps, ---jmiller Kevin_Burdish@timeinc.com wrote: > Hi! > We are using Informix 7.3 on SGI origin 2000, and are having problems > finding a backup solution.
