Yes, that's a wicked tight window you have! My backup window is wider--about 1700-0700, so I go ahead and let the copies run hourly all night. >> I understand that the COPYSTGPOOL drives count against MAXNUMMP >> (which is counter-intuitive to me), so I haven't had the nerve to >> try this. > > Oh, it works pretty well, with a few glaring exceptions. I think I could survive the TDP failures; our DBAs allocate enough log space that the databases can survive the odd TDP failure. I never have been able to understand the MAXNUMMP business, though. I asked about it on here a while back and got several good and sensible-sounding responses, but I still couldn't get my head around it. I guess I'm just thick. anker
