Backup and Restore Considerations

If you perform a backup, the database server performs a full checkpoint and flushes all changed pages, including those for fuzzy operations, to the disk. If you perform a restore, the database server reapplies all logical-log records.

Important:
Because the logical log contains records of fuzzy operations not yet written to disk, you must back up the logical logs regularly.

For information on ON–Bar or ontape, see the IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide.
