Back Up an IDS Database

3. Click the Source tab if it is not already visible. In the Source view, select

the Informix server you want to back up.

Selecting the server in Backup Manager is equivalent to the following ON-
Bar full-backup command:

onbar_d -b –w (for Informix 9.x, 10.0 or 11.10)

Note: When you select a full Informix server backup (that is, one that
includes all IDS objects on the server), the system backs up all files
located in the \etc directory under the Informix home directory. The \etc
directory must contain ONCONFIG, IXBAR, ONCFG, and other critical files.
If the \etc directory does not contain these files, modify the Informix
environment to ensure that the files are there.

Also, the Agent for IBM Informix backs up the files located in the
\TAPEINFO directory under the agent directory to ensure the backup of the
XBSATAPE.TBL file. The XBSATAPE.TBL file is critical for an IDS restore.
