We just upgraded from IDS 7.31 to IDS 10.0 We backup the database with Legato Networker 7.2.2 and the Networker Module for Informix 2.0. We noticed the backup failing when the dbspace backup was complete and it tried to backup the logical logs.

BACKUP & VERIFICATION
=====================
For IBM Informix Dynamic Server:

-b [-p] [-L <level>] [-w | -f <filename> | <spaces>] [-O]

-b -F

-b -l [-c | -C | -s] [-O]

-v [-w] [-p] [-t <time>] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]

-b backup

-c backup current logical log

-C continuous logical log backup

-f pathname of file containing list of storage spaces

-F fake backup

-l backup full logical logs (no spaces)

-L backup level: 0, 1, or 2, defaults to 0

-O override internal error checks - enforce policy strictly

-p backup spaces only (no logs)

-w whole system backup

-s salvage logs

-v verify consistency of most recent backups

<spaces> list of storage spaces to backup

RESTORE
========
For IBM Informix Dynamic Server:

-r [-e] [-O] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]

-r [-e] [-t <time> | -n <log>] [-O]

-r -p [-e] [-t <time>] [-O] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]

-r -l [-t <time> | -n <log>]

-r -w [-e] [[-p] [ -t <time>] | -n <log>] [-O]

-RESTART

-r [-e] -rename -f <filename> [-w] [-p] [-t <time> | -n <log>]

[-f <filename> | <spaces>]

-r [-e] {-rename -p <old path> -o <old offset> -n <new path>

-o <new offset>...} [-w] [-p] [-t <time> | -n <log>]

[-f <filename> | <spaces>]

-e external restore

-f pathname of file containing list of storage spaces

-l logical log only restore (no spaces)

-n last logical log to restore

-O override internal error checks - enforce policy strictly

-p physical only restore (no logs)

-r restore

-t point in time to stop restore

-w whole system to restore

-RESTART restart an interrupted restore

<spaces> list of storage spaces to restore

-rename rename chunks during cold restore

With -rename option:

-rename -f <filename> pathname of file containing list of mapped

chunk pathnames and offsets

-p old pathname of chunk

-o old offset of chunk

-n new pathname of chunk

-o new offset of chunk

MESSAGING
=========
For IBM Informix Dynamic Server:

-m [<lines>] [-r [<seconds>]]

-m Displays last <lines> of onbar's activity log file (default: 20 lines)

-r Repeat display every <seconds> seconds (default: 5 seconds)

LOGICAL-LOG(S) DISPLAY
======================
For IBM Informix Dynamic Server:

{-P} {-n <log unique identifier> | <starting log unique identifier -

ending log unique identifier>} [-l] [-q] [-b] [-u <user name>]

[-t <TBLspace number>] [-x <transaction number]

We reported this to EMC/Legato support. They told us that IDS 10 would require Networker 7.4 server & client. I just found in the release supplement for Networker Module for Informix (May 11, 2005). The variable DO_LOGFILE_BACKUPS sould be NO for Imformix version 9.4 in the nsrdbmi script. So, I changed the variable to NO and the backup ran successfully.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?? Will I be able to restore this backup??

Regards,

Paul Sullivan
