Communication with ON-Bar 
CA ARCserve Backup lets you configure batch jobs. Using CA ARCserve 
Backup, you can configure one IDS instance at a time. You can use the 
Informix Agent Batch Job Configuration dialog to submit backup and restore 
jobs using the ON-Bar command line on the IDS. However, if the agent server 
is hosting multiple instances of IDS, you must reconfigure the batch job 
configuration for each backup or restore job submitted through the ON-Bar 
command line. 
Note: If you use CA ARCserve Backup and Restore Managers tools as your 
methods for initiating backup or restore jobs, the batch job configuration 
process is unnecessary. 
You can also use the Informix Agent Configuration dialog to submit backup 
and restore jobs using the ON-Bar utility. 
 
Configure the Agent for ON-Bar Interaction 
You can configure the agent to support the backup or restore operations of 
IDS instances, which are performed using the Informix ON-Bar utility. 
To configure the agent  
1.  Log in as the Windows administrator to the server where IDS is running. 
2.  Click Start, Programs, CA, ARCserve Backup Agents, and Informix Agent 
configuration.  
The Backup Agent for Informix Configuration window opens.
