Hello,

I'm using Baan IV with an informix database.
I know that in Baan (or informix) there is a tool that lets you perform a database backup without having to shut the system down.It's especially design for environment where there can be no downtime.
Does anyone knows the name of that tool and does anyone have any documentation about it?

Thanks a lot,

Ontape is the informix command for tape backup.

We use ontape -s -L 0 (full system level 0) - Twice daily on one tape device and ontape -c on seperate tape device for continuous backup of logical logs.

Search the board for ontape or check out the IBM site.
