Legato is good (but you need the disk staging add-on), but it costs, my favourite though is Tivoli that backs up to disk by default, then archives to tape, it costs as well, I have not used the server on Linux but Im told its good. There is no real OSS backup software I am aware of. Try www.freshmeat.net but I don't think you are going to be in luck. If you could get Informix to dump itself as a file to a harddrive, (which I thought it could?) then Amanda is a good network backup tool, though nfs mounts and tar rock for me. Also there is a hot and cold option, ie will the backup be done while the DB is on line (hot), or do you offline (cold) the db while the backup is done. Hot backup costs more.....
