In Response To: RE: Physical restore failed (Everett Mills)
Wally,
I would do as Everett suggests as well as taking a look at the full path for
/backups/informix_bu and
the device it points to (if it does). Then you might take a look at the
ontape binary and see if it is
set correctly (owner,group,permissions). There should be a file in
$INFORMIXDIR/etc named something
like IIFfiles (it will end in files and not start with clientsdk or gls) use
the entry in that file for ontape to
see what it should be set to (probably something like -rwsr-sr-x root
informix) and make sure it is the
same. If your archives are working correctly, you might see what user they
are being run by (maybe root?)
and try to run the restore as that user (with the correct environment).
