1. Set TAPEDEV in your onconfig.servername file to say /tmp/backup.bak

2. touch /tmp/backup.bak;chown informix:informix /tmp/backup.bak; chmod 660 /tmp/backup.bak

3. ontape -s -L 0

4. Copy /tmp/backup.bak to the target machine

5. Ensure the target machine is offline

6. ontape -r on the target machine
