No. You can only restore on the same hardware, OS, and Informix version
under which the archive was made. The ONLY exception is HPUX servers are
cross compatible between the PA-RISC and Intel Itanium releases if the
Informix version is the same.

hello all

we have a level 0 backup to disk from AIX 6.1 and were looking to
restore on a Linux x86 (red hat) server, infromix version 11.50.FC7.

error comes up as "Physical restore failed - function read archive
backup failed code -1 errno 0"

can this be accomplished between the two different OS's?
or is it a no go like trying to restore a UNIX backup onto a windows
system restore?


thanks

You can do that because .FC3Xxx and .UC3 are essentially the same version.
32bit versus 64bit doesn't seem to matter, the disk structures are
identical.
