If you look for documentation for imported restore using onbar and ISM then
choose "IBM Informix Storage Manager Administrator's Guide" chapter
"Transferring Data with the Imported Restore". It can be found at
following URL:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ism.doc/ism107.htm

Informix documentation contains an example for ISM presented in a detailed
step by step tutorial (next pages of the URL above):
Step 1: Backing Up the Source Database Server to ISM
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ism.doc/ism108.htm

Step 2: Porting ISM to Your Target Database Server
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ism.doc/ism109.htm

Step 3: Restoring Data from ISM to the Target Database

ISM is based on a product known as "Legato Networker". It was limited e.g.
to allow local operation only and backup to 4 devices only. Therefore some
"Legato Networker" commands are delivered with ISM. Most of them has ISM
wrappers (ism* commands).
