Re: Recommendation of a 3rd Party Backup software package

I tried it with IDS 7.31.UD2, XPS 8.11, UDO 9.x and i am on the edge to try with XPS 821.UD3 The only problem with this version is that Informix changed the bar_version as external table which was not the case with other versions. As per release note it should work fine and you do not need to Insert any record in bar_versiob b'coz it will populate from sm_versions file. Somehow it does not work and Informix recognize it as bug# 91904. Informix do have patch for it. I am waiting for that patch and then i will try with 821.UD3. All the version exists on the same machine. It was just a functional testing which i did. I will do performance test also with Legato for IDS, XPS and UDo. Legato is really awesome. I worked with other SM also. Legato is easy and more flexible. I will be more happy to answer any other question on the Informix with Legato. I will appreciate if others can use their experiences.
