TDP for Informix is just a XBSA interface between Informix On-Bar and Tivoli Storage Manager. So if for you fragmented means tables are in more than one dbspace then you can backup only some dbspaces. It is up to you (or your DBA). But be aware that you will not be able to perform cold restore of the server in this manner. Only mixed restore - cold restore of rootdbs followed by warm restore of dbspaces backed up. There are not too many thing to tune/control using TDP for Informix. The backup process is under control of On-Bar. If you are having problems notify us.

We have our first TDP customers with Informix and Oracle to set up. These servers have multiple database instances on the same server. One of the Informix databases is 1TB and is fragmented. (The Oracle server, also has a 1TB database.) They want to backup only specific fragments at a time, probably around 300GB. We have a SAN and will attach them to the SAN in the near future, but at first we are going to be using a small development database on this server to test TDP. Can any of you please give me your advice on what worked best for you when setting up TDP? Thank you!!
