The Agent for IBM Informix works with ON-Bar, which is the backup and recovery utility for IDS. The primary job of the agent is to issue requests for the Informix ON-Bar utility on behalf of the Informix Manager. Options set through the Backup Manager interface are translated into the ON-Bar command-line options, to provide an integrated environment. You can also work from the ON-Bar command line to submit jobs directly to the Backup Manager.
The agent connects Arcserve Backup and IDS by communicating between the two applications, enabling data to be passed back and forth. The agent resides on the same system as IDS.
To back up a database, the Arcserve Backup Manager converts user entries into one or more requests, and sends the requests to the agent on the IDS system. The agent communicates this request to ON-Bar, which executes backup and restore requests for IDS. The agent retrieves the specified data objects from IDS and sends them to the Backup Manager, which copies the data to your storage media.
You can manage the backup and restore operations better with the following options.
