Creating database server archives

Use the ccmsrv archive command to create a database server archive.

Procedure

  1. Run the ccmsrv archive command.

    The entire Informix® server is archived. So, you cannot back up or restore just one database, but all the databases in the entire server. As an option, you can put each Rational® Synergy database in its own server.

  2. Back up each database file system.

    The ccmsrv archive command archives only the databases metadata. Therefore, it is your responsibility to back up each database file system data using other tools, such as those included with the operating system.

    For more information about the command, see:
