Backup and Restore GuideThe Informix® Backup and Restore Guide describes how to use the Informix® ON-Bar and ontape utilities to back up and restore database server data. These utilities enable you to recover your databases after data is lost or becomes corrupted due to hardware or software failure or accident.

Verify consistency before a level-0 backup

To ensure the integrity of your backups, periodically verify that all database server data and overhead information is consistent before you create a full-system level-0 backup. You do not check this information before every level-0 backup, but we recommend that you keep the necessary tapes from the most recent backup created immediately after the database server was verified as consistent. For information about consistency checking, see your Informix® Administrator's Guide.
