The storage manager manages the storage devices to which the backed-up data is written. ISM is included with your database server. For information on how to use ISM, refer to the IBM Informix: Storage Manager Administrator's Guide.
If you choose a different storage manager, consider whether it has the features that you need to back up your storage spaces and logical logs. When you choose storage devices, make sure that they are compatible with the storage manager that you choose. The storage devices should have the speed and capacity that your backups require. The storage manager should be easy to use and work on your operating system.
