This procedure is part of an emergency logical-log backup on the Informix database with ON-Archive without the SAP scripts. For an overview of the processing, see Emergency Logical-Log Backup without SAP Scripts (ON-Archive).

This step is only relevant if you normally perform continuous backup using a temporary storage area on disk to back up your logical log. In this step, you copy the backup data to the normal volume set for logical-log backup data, LOGTAP (held on tape), to allow a restore to function normally. If you do not use LOGTAP , you need to change the command given below to copy the data to your normal logical-log volume set.

You have finished Cataloging the Emergency Save Set (ON-Archive).

1. Use the copy command in ON-Archive to copy the save sets from the disk staging area ( LOGDIR ) to the regular tape volume set ( LOGTAP ):

$ onarchive 'copy/vset=LOGDIR/destination=LOGTAP'

ON-Archive confirms the request and then executes it:

Request 00000104 registered in the catalog.

2. After you have copied the save sets to tape, you can remove them from disk as usual using the remove command in ON-Archive . Do not use the UNIX rm command.

The logical-log files backed up in the emergency backup are now part of the normal volume for logical-log backup, LOGTAP .

The next step is Copying Emergency Save Set to Regular Volume Set (ON-Archive).
