I can look at the debug stuff... but there are no errors on the backup - and no real errors on the restore other than it says there is nothing to restore.

I'm pretty sure I did all the imported restore stuff right...

My real question/problem right now is why doesn't archecker find the backup files on the source server...

Thanks
Laurie

If all else fails, you can set BAR_DEBUG to a number between 1 & 9 with 9
providing the most debug info. You can then check BAR_DEBUG_LOG to see what is
going on. You may need support to help decipher that output.

cold restore -

the restore box is the same version, same OS.. and I have created links for
all the dbspaces.

The only thing that is different is that the links go to cooked files instead
of raw volumes...

Are you trying to warm restore a dbspaces that is not down?

We are having problems doing a restore from an onbar backup, using a
Tivoli
Storage Manager.

This is what we have:

IDS 10.0 FC9 on HP-UX 11.i ( we tried reverting back to fc8... it didn't
work
either)

Storage Management Server for Linux/x86_64 - Version 6, Release 2, Level
2.0

Backups run with no errors, and, when I run a TSM query, I can see the
datasets, but when I try to restore from the backup, onbar says there are
no
spaces to restore. The same type of output is returned from archecker.

This is the archecker output from the server that is not working looks
like
this:

informix@itshp7 [/home/infrmx]
$ archecker -bvs
IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 10.00.FC9 Program Name: archecker

AC_IXBAR /home/informix/etc/ixbar.99
AC_TIMEOUT 300
AC_SESSION

Control page checks PASSED
Table checks PASSED

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
