Re: DBBACKUP/etc.

Greg I have never heard of these commands, but that may only be my ignorance. However, IMO these may be shell (or other) wrappers calling the on- commands. For example I would guess DBBACK may be an alias for ontape, and DBSTOP an alias for onmode -ky. You may want to look at the machine where you have these commands, do a "which DBBACK" and try to read the contents of DBBACK.

We're running Informix SE version 7.24 on a Linux box and didn't see any equivalent executables in the /informix/bin directory ...
