Greetings,
I would like to use ontape to backup to a unix filesystem. Is there a
certain why the filesystem needs to be created to enable this or will I
need to use onbar. I’m currently using IDS 9.40FC2 on HPUX 11i V1and an
attempt to backup to a filesystem erros as seen below:
$ ontape -s -L 0
Please mount tape 1 on /usr/dbexport and press Return to continue …
could not write archive tape.

You need to create the file and have it with permissions 660, owner
informix:informix
TAPEDEV points to the file you are creating.

As Murray rightly pointed out to create a file with correct owner and
permission, just to make it clear, see below:
# cd /usr/dbexport
# touch
# chown informix:informix
# chmod 660
Now modify $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG and point this
TAPEDEV.
BTW, search this newsgroup to find my script to level0 to disk.

I think the “tape device” need to have 666 permission – same as a normal
tape device

Thanks to all who responded. I greatly appreciate the help.
I guess I was brainfarting and attempting to write to a directory instead
of creating a file with 660.
