Hi Cohesity and IBM Storage Protect has some colaborations. Perhaps there is new integration to Cohesity storage without having to change the IBM SP config to use Cohesity? If you are looking for a transparent way to store backups, than Spictera Unified Storage can be a way to go where ...

Hi Thanks for sharing this. I have not used Informix for many years, but I assume you are using the "onbar -l" command to send informix data? Or directly at log switch? Anyhow, I would guess that each time a log is backed up, it has to perform several steps, such as 1) connect to ...

This will never happen using Spictera Unified Storage, where the snapshots are stored on the IBM Storage Protect as the snapshot disk is provisioned internally using unique LUN id and associated to any lvm volume as a snapshot. https://www.spictera.com ------------------------------ ...

Hi Perhaps the Domino server is configured with circular logging, where the Domino database process locks the log file. You can try backing up these files using Open File support (VSS) or the older mechanism which I dont remember the name of anymore... But I guess your OS is of a newer ...

Yes, You should use the SP Data Protector for Domino, but without the "START /B" which is faulty documented in the manual, as this will never return the actual success of the backups. Regards Tomas Dalebjörk CEO Spictera Ltd https://www.spictera.com ------------------------------ ...

I think that ixbar.nn is backed up by the onbar tool too? Check the -cf flags for onbar tool. If I recall, it should also be possible to restore only the ixbar file too, but I have not been working with Informix for decades. Regards Tomas Spictera Ltd https://www.spictera.com ...

Hi, I think that this is IBM's answer for competitors way to detect ransomware attacks, where they work together with Cohesity. There are other ways to detect ransomware that doesnt need any replacement of backup softwares, for example using ELK, which is a populare SOC (SIEM) tool to use. ...

Hi It was ages since I last worked with Informix, but of curiosity of how Informix handles online changes during a full backup.

Hi Try verifying that the data can be restored using onbar -r -v Note that this might vary depending of type of backup system used as backend, where some might just report if media exists. I dont remember how this is done in Informix, but might give some hints. Regards Tomas CEO Spictera htt ...

Hi Peter, Interesting solution, thanks for sharing. There are several ways to think about when talking about backups (or data protections). Is the dump area protected from changes (Write Once Read Many), so that as soon as the backup dump has been created, it can't be changed, deleted, ...

Informix also has the possibility to be backed up directly to a backup server using "onbar" (Online Backup And Restore) commands. That is a much easier and secure way to perform backup and restores, as you do not have to perform restores of all your local dump files, plus that you can stay protected ...
