Hello,
I have reviewed several old postings concerning the purpose of the
VOLUMEHISTORY file and am under the impression that as long as I know what
volume contains my last good DB backup, I could manually create a
VOLUMEHISTORY file in the event of an offsite disaster recovery. This is
operating under the premise that once the DB is restored, a new
VOLUMEHISTORY file is created anyway, based on the records within the DB.
I send full DB backups offsite daily and would receive a hardcopy of our
vault listing, which calls out the newest DB backup, along with the tapes
at the DR site.
Does anyone know of a reason that I would need to send a VOLUMEHISTORY file
offsite, given the above information?
I am attempting to eliminate a cumbersome and unreliable 3.5" diskette we
have been sending offsite daily with this information.
Thanks,
Don
