Using more than one utility to backup Informix

2004-02-18 Thread Jozef Zatko
Hello guys, I have one quick (hope easy) question about backing up Informix databases. Is it safe to use two different backup tools independently to backup Informix data? I have Informix server, which was backed up using Ontape. Recently we implemented TDP for Informix and started to use onbar.

Hi Josef, I just spoke with our informix admin, who was in the surroundings as I received your mail, and he assured me there would be no problem doing this : both programs have their own way to check when to initiate backups, and no one will steal the other logs ! Hope this helped ! Cheers.

You have to make very certain that both level0|1|2's logs are done by the same, ie. either onbar or ontape. ontape does backup logs together with the level0|1|2 (it says something like 'this tape contains logs ### - ###'), but it does not mark the logs as backed up so onbar won't miss out on

Hi, yes I know the readme, but I I have tested it with closed files, and backup is more slow. And if there is no option snapshotcachelocation in dsm.opt I will get message ANS1327E which says, that he can not backup the file with a snapshot, but why does he want to do it, the file is not open or

USEREXIT for UNIX

All, I'm no C guru, so I was wondering if anyone had some source code where the USEREXIT will write directly to the UNIX syslog via the 'logger' call.. I've seen Bill Mansfield's example that writes to an output file, and thought about FILEEXIT, but site standards dictate that the UNIX

-subdir=yes shouldn't really matter if it's excluded then it's included. Verify the exclusion with the following command from the root prompt: # dsmc q inclexcl if you don't see the exclude listed in that output check your dsm.sys/opt file to see what the path of the actual inclexcl file of that

The README is perhaps a little misleading in this regard, as it does not entirely explain how the snapshot backup works. In fact, when using open file support, the entire volume is backed up via the snapshot method, not just open files. The idea is to capture the entire volume at a moment in time

Reclamation Questions

Can someone help me understand Reclamation? 1. When this process is under-way, can backups still run? 2. What about restores? Is it possible to configure this process to be interrupted? Thank you David A. Chapa * Technical Advisor, Technical Marketing * ADIC * 720.249.5836 * [EMAIL

Re: Reclamation Questions

2004-02-18 Thread Stapleton, Mark
Keep in mind that TSM maintains a hierarchy of importance. Restores are at the top of this hierarchy; a restore requiring a tape volume will stop a process using that tape in order to get to it. Backups are at the bottom of this hierarchy; a backup will wait (in MediaW mode) until all present
