Re: script for ontake backup in multiple files

Why to multiple files? Use 'ontpae -s -L $level -t STDIO > outfile' and save all the echo '0\\ \\ \\ ....', mounting, touching, chmod'ing and chown'ing. Could then split outfile if required - for whatever reason. Could also compress outfile while creating: ... -t STDIO | gzip > outfile.gz Or take advantage of BACKUP_FILTER ... Or use and take advantage of onbar with bundled PSM, Informix' own file system based storage manager ...
