Complete Backup on Windows NT

Greetings all, The various postings I have observed in this group have proven to be very helpful (as I am a novice Informix database administrator). In an attempt to cover my a$$...I am trying to backup an Informix database on a Windows NT machine that is still being used... It is running version Informix 7.22.TC1. After initiating a backup manually with ONBAR (c:\\informix\\bin\\onbar -b -w -L 0), I noticed the complete backup was only 740KB - that does not seem right as the system typically downloads a few megabytes of new information each day... Two submissions are below, 1) the dos environment I am running ONBAR from, and 2) "onstat -a" output. =================================================== 1) The session I am running ONBAR from looks like: =================================================== set INFORMIXDIR=C:\\Informix set INFORMIXSERVER=ol_nt_srv set ONCONFIG=ONCONFIG set PATH=C:\\Informix\\bin;%PATH%; set INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=\\\\NT_SRVset DBTEMP=C:\\Informix\\infxtmp set CLIENT_LOCALE=EN_US.CP1252 set DB_LOCALE=EN_US.8859-1set DBLANG=EN_US.CP1252 mode con codepage select=1252 =========================================================== 2) Below is an "ONSTAT -a" (my logical logs are almost full, and my chucks are almost filled up...woo hoo!): =========================================================== INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.22.TC1 -- On-Line -- Up 01:55:01 -- 10240 Kbytes Message Log File: C:\\Informix\\online.log 0 Committed, 0 Rolled Back, 0 Open, 0 Bad Locks 07:56:59 Onconfig parameter TAPEDEV modified from G:\\IFMXBKUP.BAK to D:\\backup\\compback\\IFMXBKUP.BAK. 07:56:59 Onconfig parameter TAPESIZE modified from 2397667 to 3144720. 07:56:59 Onconfig parameter LTAPEDEV modified from NUL to D:\\backup\\loglogs\\IFMXBKLG.BAK. 07:56:59 Dataskip is now OFF for all dbspaces 07:56:59 Init operation complete - Mode Online 07:56:59 On-Line Mode 07:56:59 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 08:52:58 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 08:52:58 Level 0 Archive started on rootdbs, ol_nt_srv 08:56:48 Archive on rootdbs, ol_nt_srv ABORTED. 08:56:48 Aborted by client. 08:58:03 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 09:02:55 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 09:02:55 Level 0 Archive started on rootdbs, ol_nt_srv 09:08:03 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 2 seconds. 09:35:09 Archive on rootdbs, ol_nt_srv Completed. 09:35:10 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 09:40:11 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds.
