You can use the Agent for IBM Informix to back up IDS objects such as 
dbspaces, blobspaces, and logical logs. Command line options associated with 
the ON-Bar utility are also available. 

For more information about using ON-Bar, see the Informix ON-Bar 
documentation.

When you submit a job from the Backup Manager, CA ARCserve Backup 
validates the jobs in the queue. The agent then converts the job requests to 
ON-Bar commands, which appear in the Activity Log for this agent.  

To ensure a complete restore operation based on your organization’s defined 
backup schedule, we recommend the following: 

■ 

Periodically stop IDS services and perform a full offline backup (regular file 
backup) of the IDS configuration and data files, without the agent. This 
ensures that restores will be successful if dbspaces or blobspaces are lost. 
Before starting the backup job, stop all IDS services using the Services 
feature of the Control Panel. 

 

■ 

Back up dbspaces or blobspaces immediately after you create them, and 
maintain a regular backup schedule to ensure smooth recovery in case of 
dbspace or media failure. CA ARCserve Backup lets you set and maintain a 
regular schedule of automatic backups. 

 

■ 

IDS reuses logical logs. To conserve disk space, IDS limits log size and 
quantity. When these logs are full, you must back them up to free them 
for reuse.
