Martin, Thanks for the reply. A few more questions: - At what point in the first backup is the DBIdentifier created? The reason I ask is that I would like to query the DBIdentifier during a backup (possibly from backint). - If I create a second instance (B) for recovery, and recover instance A into it, does instance B have its own DBIdentifier, or does it get the same DBIdentifier as instance A? I guess that when I do the first backup of B it will get its own DBIdentifier? - Can I get hold of the DBIdentifier for an instance?

Hi David, the answer is yes. The DBIdentifier is set when the backuphistory starts (i.e. the first databackup is made) The datavolume, logvolume, databackups and logbackups are labeled with this identifier. During restart and recovery consistency is checked using this identifier.

Does a MaxDB instance have a unique identifier, like every Oracle database has a 'dbid'?
