Does anyone have suggestions on how to back up a one terabyte informix database? Two more terabytes will be added to the storage soon. The situation will be worse by then. If a level zero full backup requires more than 48 hours (during weekend), it will not work. The major portion of the database is used to store images and hence blobspaces are used. Another key requirement is how to restore just one image or just a few related images from backup device of some kind. Chao Y. Din
