My DB is in multiple loctions. Can I back tem up on a single tape and
still be able to restore them using Ingres checkpoint facility ?

Thanks

There were at least two excellent responses to this question the first
time you posted it.

This is the default. the Locations will go in sequence onto the same tape.
If you use the syntax described in the DBA guide, or the SQL reference
manual, you should be OK.

The problem is that INGRES by default does not allow you to make
checkpoints of multiple *databases* onto the same tape. To do this you have
to do  some manual intervention, but this scenario was discussed in some
detail about a week ago in this newsgroup.
