Backup and Restore Enhancements

The following enhancements have been made to the ON-Bar and ontape utilities for Dynamic Server, Version 9.4.

All new backup and restore features are documented in the IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide.

Renaming Chunks During a Cold Restore

You can rename chunks by specifying new chunks paths and offsets during a cold restore with ON-Bar and ontape. This option is useful if you need to restore storage spaces to a different disk from the one on which the backup was made.

Full Use of Storage Media and Increased File Size Limit

The ontape utility can now use the full size of the storage media if the specified tape size is 0. The ontape utility can now backup and restore file sizes up to 4 Terabytes.
