Or you can look in chapter 11 of the Backup and Restore Manual and
learn that it is:

"142 ON-Bar was unable to open a file. Verify that the named file
exists and that the permissions are correct. Check the ON-Bar activity
log for an operating-system error message."

From the messages before the error 142 it looks like your
BAR_BSALIB_PATH and/or your $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sm_versions file(s) are
mis-configured. Since both of these files are configured by
information from your storage manager, I'd suggest you call your
storage manager vendor's technical support organization first. Hope
this information helps.
