We are using 10.00.FC8 on HP-UX
Moved all our databases from Parisc to Itanium this weekend and are

Traditionally we have always done this using dbexport/dbimport but with all
the new flash tools in the later versions of IBM Informix I was wondering if
there are better ways of doing this these days. What do other people use? I
