Ali Ahmed, Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but the Informix raw partition (on Solaris boxes) is still backed up and restored using the dd command. This is part of the "backup" script in /usr/local, and part of the "restore" script on the day0 CD. So perhaps it would help if you took a look at those two scripts to see how the dd command is used, hopefully to apply it to your situation.
