Unsupported Backup Functions 
 

Note: The first job submitted for backup is always a test job, with no 
actual data. It is used to trigger ON-Bar. If the job is successful, the 
message, Backup Operation Successful appears. This message indicates 
that ON-Bar was successfully activated. However, the actual backup 
process is still in progress. You can track the progress of the job using the 
Job Status option. 

If a backup job fails because of a CA ARCserve Backup or agent environment 
variable (such as a request for unavailable media), then the ON-Bar process 
may stop responding. Use the Windows Task Manager to determine if ON-Bar 
is responding. If the ON-Bar process is responding, then run the following 
command from the agent directory: 

stopxbsa.exe informix_server_instance_name
