Using IBM Informix Server Administrator to Back Up and Verify

IBM Informix Server Administrator (ISA) is a browser-based tool for performing administrative tasks such as ON–Bar and onstat commands. You can use ISA to perform the following ON–Bar tasks:

• View messages in the ON–Bar activity log.
• Perform level-0, level-1, or level-2 backups.
  • Back up storage spaces (onbar -b).
  • Back up the whole system (onbar -b -w).
  • Override error checks during the backup (onbar -b -O).
  • Perform a fake backup (onbar -b -F).
• Back up the logical logs.
  • Include the current log in the log backup (onbar -b -l -c).
  • Override error checks to back up logs when blobspaces are offline (onbar -l -O).
  • Start a continuous logical-log backup (onbar -b -l -C).
• Verify backups.
• Edit the onbar script.
