About NetBackup for Informix scripts

The NetBackup installation software writes Informix scripts to the following directory:

/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/informix/scripts

For more information on ON-Bar scripts, see your Informix documentation.

Be sure to modify these scripts for your environment. Although each script can perform multiple ON-Bar operations, each type of operation requires a separate script. For example, you need separate scripts for backups and restores.

Note:

Always specify the correct script when you configure automatic backups or when you start operations through NetBackup. NetBackup for Informix does not generate an error if a restore script is used for a backup operation or a backup script is used for a restore operation.

The NetBackup for Informix installation software includes the following example scripts:

  • informix_dbspace_list

  • informix_logical_log_backup

  • informix_onbar_backup_of_dbspace1

  • informix_onbar_backup_of_rootdbs

  • informix_onbar_backup_of_rootdbs_and_dbspace1

  • informix_onbar_backup_using_file_list

  • informix_onbar_restore_dbspace1

  • informix_onbar_restore_rootdbs

  • infx_remove_expired_backup
