Re: Backup Informix on Intel NT platform???

You cannot use ON-BAR on WinNT because the XBSA interface is not provided
by IBM for ADSM on the WinNT platform. XBSA is the X/Open Backup Storage
API (or something close to that) that is used by ON-BAR.
For any of the ADSM Planners, please take note of another site who is
looking for this. The last time I inquired about this, I was told that
porting XBSA to the WinNT platform was not very high on the priority list
because they didn't think there was much of a market for it. We (Cornell)
would also like to see this and would use it if it were available.
FWIW, I believe we ran into some problems running Informix on NT here, and
would recommend a Unix platform if you can do it.
