Rust Bacula Community plugin for HCL Informix Dynamic Server 12.10/14.10/15.0: native XBSA cdylib backend (libpodheitor_xbsa.so) replacing TSM/ISP — ON-Bar streams data straight into Bacula — with ontape STDIO fallback, continuous log shipping (sub-minute RPO), PITR to any LSN/timestamp and HDR/RSS/SDS/ER bootstrap. E2E-validated: PASS=22 / FAIL=0 (2026-04-29).
What it does
- XBSA + ontape + parallel dbspaces — Pure-Rust XBSA backend + ontape STDIO fallback; XBSA stripes in onbar_psm mode — N-way per dbspace, M dbspaces concurrently.
- PITR + continuous log shipping — Per-log SHA-256, onstat -l polling, gap detection. Recover to any LSN, timestamp or transaction ID.
- Replication and snapshot — One-command HDR / RSS / SDS / ER bootstrap through Bacula storage; LVM/ZFS/native IDS-checkpoint snapshots with < 1 s quiesce window.
- Cross-version conversion + sandbox — mode=logical_dbexport + logical_import migrates IDS 12.10 → 14.10 → 15.0; single-table extraction in Docker/Podman sandbox with zero production impact.
