That is if you created the tar file while the registry server was in maintenance mode. If you did not put the server into maintenance mode, several key database files are locked and the tar file is not of much use (since it did not read these files). You would have the same problems with wbak. -- Joe Pato Cooperative Computing Division Hewlett-Packard Company pato@apollo.hp.com
