You can use Your tools if You want to, but... 1. If backing up the orginal files located standard in \\IFMXDATA\\... You should bring IDS to mode quiescent or offline, otherwise You will run into problems file access. 2. When working with database with transaction logging, You have to backup the logical logs independently with informix own tools. Of course, You can backup logical logs to hard drive and save these backup-files with Your tools. Wolfgang
