The system crashed hard on Monday (SAN Failure). My last good full database and file system backups (which includes the IXBAR file) are from Friday morning. I have all the logs sent to tape since the last db backup. My problem is can I recover to a point in time beyond the IXBAR file? I have been doing some searching and I don't really see anything and I am wondering if anyone has tried this? If the IXBAR file needs to have all the log files info is there away to get that information in the IXBAR file? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. T.E.Mammoser DBA Nicor Gas
