Does anyone have any 1st hand experience of using OnBar in conjunction with
BCV. Have you run a restore? Did it work OK?

We use it as our principal backup/restore strategy at a retailer in NW
London.
We've never had to restore in anger but in testing it's worked fine - we've
also restored to a DR machine using the technique.
One downside is that, using HP Data Protector, a 45-second-odd delay is
intorduced before each log is applied (even when they're all sequentially on
the same tape).  If you have, say, 100 logs that's an hour-and-a-quarter
added to your restore time.  We had calls open with HP and IBM but never
actually got to the bottom of whether it was an onbar or a DP problem.
