Re: Informix: ontape -a error: Log backup to device '/dev/null' not allowed
I am running IDS 7.31 fwiw, You CAN run the
TAPEDEV to /dev/null, LTAPEDEV still runs transactions logs, in order maintain record rollback transactions have to go to log. I don't think there is a way around and personally I'd not recommend it.
My nutsack would be hanging on my door if something happened and a database got some whacked data.. ontape takes very little CPU or memory but could well be a butt saver, from personal experience in having to recover from a mirror crash recently YOU DO want archives in addition to your exports. disk and tapes are cheap compared to getting 500 pissed off educators breathing down your throat.
You can set your transaction logging and archive to run to an NFS mount, Tape or local disk, but IMHO don't go with out..
