Use

This procedure tells you how to perform an automatic logical-log backup on your Informix database using ontape . Although SAP does not recommend this approach, we describe it in case you decide to use it.

Procedure

  1. Place a write-enabled tape in your tape drive.
  2. Log on as user informix and enter the command:

    3. $ ontape -a

  3. Change the tape as required.

Result

The logical log is backed up. Therefore, you can use the logical-log backup for a restore in the event of database failure.

Make sure that you check the logical-log backup result and check the tapes. Finally, be sure to complete the logical-log backup.
