Unsupported Backup Functions
Note: The first job submitted for backup is always a test job, with no
actual data. It is used to trigger ON-Bar. If the job is successful, the
message, Backup Operation Successful appears. This message indicates
that ON-Bar was successfully activated. However, the actual backup
process is still in progress. You can track the progress of the job using the
Job Status option.
If a backup job fails because of a CA ARCserve Backup or agent environment
variable (such as a request for unavailable media), then the ON-Bar process
may stop responding. Use the Windows Task Manager to determine if ON-Bar
is responding. If the ON-Bar process is responding, then run the following
command from the agent directory:
stopxbsa.exe informix_server_instance_name
