We are running 7.20 on HP-UX 10.01. I am new to Informix and have = a question about backup/restore. It appears that I can use ontape to = backup the instance, but I must restore the whole instance to get a single database or table back. I was thinking about doing an ontape and also dbexporting all of the databases and letting them get backed up with the regular file system backups. =20 >How do others backup/configure their instances to allow the restoration = of single tables or databases? Is there 3rd party software that will help with this? RTFM: While both products are used for backing up the whole instance, = both are capable of providing dbspace level restores. If single table = restoration becomes a necessity, then laying out your tables in separate = dbspaces would be the solution.
