Cool Bit of work to do

Follow the IBM Informix system adminsitration course (Windows version)

Create yourself a backup strategy (when full, cumulative, incremental, how much downtime allowed, how much data loss allowed, what is the budget ).

Read the
-IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide 9.4
-IBM INformix Storage Manager Adminsitrator's Guide 9.4

you can find them on

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...ry/ids_94.html

Start writing backup scripts
Start writing restore scripts
Test them
Implement them

Hi I'm in the windows environment and here is how I did it.

I wrote a couple of scripts to backup logical logs and to do a level 0.
Every night I stop a logical log backup via a script a have on the scheduler
then do a chekpoint, then start a logical log backup again and then start a level 0 right behind it. Everything is done by scripts and gets kicked of in the scheduler
