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

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.

If you have LTAPEDEV set to /dev/null, you will only be able to recover
the instance if you to a "whole" backup ... i.e. "onbar -b -w".

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