I'm using onbar to do my backups with Veritas Netbackups.

Is there a way to backup the logical logs to Disk instead of having them
go directly to tape with "onbar -l"?

The reason is, From time to time the backup server is having issues
and it takes a while for the backup team to repond to my panic because
all the logicals are getting full.

Can I mixe ontape and onbar?

I'm still using onbar for my whole backup.

If doing a restore I would I procede recovering with the logical that were back up whit ontape?
