Re: Automated backup for Online & NT?

Shawn You mean ontape -s, dont you? Anyway check out the IIUG archives for some excellent scripts that do (more or less) what you ask.

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out on this one... I work for a software house that creates and implements data warehousing systems. It is a Windows NT 4.x application, that we develop, and all systems use Informix Online DS 7.3 (others that are not are in the process of being upgraded). The database is generally hosted by an NT machine as well. All of the smaller operations have no on-staff DBAs and generally run automated backups at a pre-determined hour. Does anyone know of a way to run an automated backup (tape or other) that would produce the same effects as an 'onstat -s' command? Or, at the very least, a utility that would help the low-maintenance types out? Further, being small locations, they don't want to pay a lot of money for one. I appreciate everyone's time.
