Back up your repository regularly to ensure that you can
recover from hardware failures or accidental deletion of files. Use
this topic to back up your repository on demand by using the UNLOAD command
of the Informix® DB-Access
utility.
Only users with a user role of admin can back up a repository.
The repository is unavailable while the backup is running.
- Access the manager on the application server.
- Click Configuration.
- Click Repository.
- Click Administration.
- Click Back Up Repository.
- Specify whether you want a full backup or an incremental
backup of what changed since the last backup and click Back
Up.
By default, backups are stored in /opt/IBM/InfoSphere/Optim/repo/server/ids11750/backups on
the repository computer. After the backup is complete, copy the backup
files from the backup folder to another computer. Copying backup files
to another computer ensures that you will have backups available in
the case of hardware failure. Mount an external drive to the repository
computer or use FTP to copy backups from the repository to another
computer.
