Is it possible to restore a database on another server of the same architecture without installing informix? I would like to restore the $INFORMIXDIR directory and files, set up links to new raw devices (using the same link names), and then use onbar to restore the data to the database.
I am trying to do this but keep getting a message that my archive backup is corrupt.
I believe that this is because something is out of synch and not necessarily because of a bad backup (because I have tried a few different tapes).
I don't know of a way to verify the backup (my version of onbar doesn't have -v).
TIA
