Backup to disk

I am trying to take the back up of logical logs to disk using ALARM program. Is there any script out there which does this. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

If you are using onbar for backups there is the sample script log_full.sh in $INFORMIXDIR/etc. If you are using ontape get my package utils3_ak from the IIUG Software Repository which contains a version of log_full.sh that will work with ontape. It is a bit simpleminded but you can flesh it out. That package also contains my executable ALARMPROGRAM, eventalarm.c, which will also backup the logs to disk and is much smarter handling ontape prompts and multiple volumes (though how they might be needed for a single log backup I dunno), etc. I even can compress the log archive files. It also handles most other ALARM events and can email a message to the administrators and/or their text pagers or cell phones when the system is in trouble. You can even configure it to only send one message per hour for long-running repeated events like LOGS FULL, and LOCK TABLE OVERFLOW. Art S.
