You didn't mention whether you were trying to restore a backup of the Informix instance to itself or the backup was coming from another server. If you are trying to restore a backup taken on a server to that server, I don't know if you are the sys admin or dba of that server as well as the storage admin. If you are only the storage admin, the 33rd dbspace may have been modified by adding a device (chunk). You also didn't mention the platform type but if it is a UNIX box, go to the /dev dir and see if a device has been added (check file date/time) since the backup was made. If a device has been added to support a new chunk for the dbspace 33, then you will need to rebuilt the instance to be the same as when the backup was made. If the backup was made on another machine / instance, check the devices on the donating machine to see if the number of chunks is consistant with the machine to be backed up to... use onstat -d as the instance owner...
