Backing up database server data

Configure and schedule backups of the storage spaces for a database server.

Prerequisite: For this action, the OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix® requires HCL Informix 11.70.xC2.

Before you configure and schedule back ups, plan your recovery goals. To plan for adequate backup protection for your data, analyze your database server configuration and activity, and the types of backup media available at your installation. Also, consider your budget for storage media, disks, computers and controllers, and the size of your network.

When you configure backups in OAT, the storage spaces are backed up automatically based on the schedule that you set.
