Sidebar: Archiving to a Remote Location

The Informix tbtape utility does allow archiving to a device or a UNIX file across a network to a remote location. When defining TAPEDEV, just precede the archive file name with the remote location name. An example would be setting TAPEDEV to:

remnode:/apps/backup/archive/arc0

where remnode is an active node on a TCP/IP network, as defined in /etc/hosts.

Modify archive.sh if you decide to use network archiving.
