Hi TIM, Informix Database backup via TSM is using "onbar". IMHO "ontape" is used for backup not managed by TSM. Using "onbar" you won't need to dump the Informix Database to file but TSM backup the database online / "on the fly". And using TSM u can manage it where you like to backup: disk or tape. Please refer to IBM Tivoli documentation for complete reference which you can get through ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/
