The following command can be used to back up an ArcSDE geodatabase in Informix:
dbexport sde –c
where sde is the name of the ArcSDE geodatabase.
For more information on different Informix database backup strategies, refer to the IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide.
Regardless of which backup and restore mode you are using, you should make regular, full backups of your Informix databases. A full backup should include the Informix database and the giomgr.defs, dbinit.sde, and services.sde files. You should also back up any dbtune files you have created and imported into the DBTUNE table.
It is important that you read the backup and recovery documentation available for Informix:
Backup and Restore Guide, V 10
Backup and Restore Guide, V 11
