To recover IDS after a disaster such as a hard disk failure, you must have
backup copies of the following:

The most recent cold (full offline) backup of all Informix files.
■
One or more copies of a full Informix server hot backup (an online backup)
made since the cold backup.
■
The latest copy of the Informix critical boot files and XBSATAPE.TBL file in
the agent directory.

password, and directory structure used in the IDS installation before the
