Informix BackUp in CentOS linux
Hello All,

Can anyone please help me with the syntax for backing up informix data files on to tape ? How can this be included in a script to run every mid night ?

Thanks in advance.

The basic syntax for backing up informix is

ontape -s -L0 <tape device>

So if your tape device is /dev/rmt0, your command will be

ontape -s -L0 /dev/rmt0

If you want it to run a backup every night, use unix crontab to set a specific time to run the command above.
