I'm running a Informix 9.21 TC5 under Windows 2000 and got to make frequent logical log backups.

Is it a way to automate this backup and maybe specify to ifx server a threshold from which the logical log backup has to be run ?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe i didnt understand the problem.
Cant you simply run ontape -c on a separate window ?

:) Automatic Logical log backup for informix, usually mean ontape -a , but this ontape -a
will stop after backup process is finished, If you want informix to backup its logical log
all the time you should use ontape -c (continueus logical log backup) instead.:)

Many thanks for your reply.

The problem is why can I specify ifx a threshold for filling of the log files from which the backup is launched.
