write an informix backup to file instead of tape

anyone know what changes to make to the onconfig file to direct a backup to a file on the disk instead of a tape device?

That should be TADPEDEV in your $ONCONFIG

Re: write an informix backup to file instead of tape

I think that was a typo,
change:
TAPEDEV
to something like:
TAPEDEV /var/big/archive.dat

also consider adjusting:

TAPEBLK 1024 # Tape block size

and

TAPESIZE 18000000 # Maximum amount of data to put on tape
