This manual describes how to use the ON–Bar and ontape utilities to back up and restore database server data. These utilities enable you to recover your databases after data is lost or becomes corrupt due to hardware or software failure or accident.
ON–Bar requires IBM Informix Storage Manager, Version 2.2, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, or a third-party storage manager to manage the storage devices. The backup and restore processes, the ON–Bar commands, and the ON–Bar configuration parameters are different for IBM Informix Dynamic Server and IBM Informix Extended Parallel Server.
The ontape utility does not require a storage manager and works on Dynamic Server only.
