The SysAdmin is backing up the filesystems/raw partitions where the informix db resides w/out putting the db in hot backup mode. He was told by a consultant, all you have to do is backup the informix logs and db files for full recovery. As an Oracle DBA and not familiar w/ informix, is this informix db backup recoverable?

Thanks,
Gene
