Backups

Hi there, I'm new to informix and unix, so if the question is vague sorry in advance. We are looking at the backup situation w/ the informix 7 . We have 2 tape drives rmt0 and rmt1. We would like to do a archive level 0 backup daily on rmt0 and run the continuos backup on rmt1. We would like to automate it as much as possible. Is there a way to run the ontape commands in the backround, using the & or -bg or as a cron job. We want the continuos backup to run during the day and have it run in the backround, with the output going to a file so that we catch any messages. Then at midnight kill that job and start the archive level 0 backup on the other tape drive. Then in the morning when we come in replace the tape and start all over again with the continous backup running in the backround . Can this be done? If so how ? (or where can I to refer to) Thanks Pat Militzer Tech Support Metro/MLS Milwaukee, WI Email : Pmilitzer@ultracom.com
