Command:
I would now like to run a second dbb that will go to disk which is then
replicated to our disaster recovery site. And create a 2nd DRM plan after
this dbb is run as well.
My dilemma is that I'm not quite sure how to set up such an environment.
To set up a dbb to go to disk I know that I'll need a device class of file
which will point to the directory where I want the dbb to be created. How
do I know how much space I will need?
01/24/07 10:29:42 ANR4550I Full database backup (process 7496)
complete,
31252557 pages copied. (SESSION: 750659, PROCESS:
7496)
01/24/07 10:29:42 ANR0985I Process 7496 for DATABASE BACKUP running in
the
BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS
at
10:29:42. (SESSION: 750659, PROCESS: 7496)
Will I need 31252557 * 4096KB = 128010473472 KB = 128 GB?
Also, how will it be possible for me to create both each day and create 2
DRM plans each day? 1 for the tape dbb and 1 for the disk dbb?
And how will I continue to keep 8 tape dbb versions and only keep 1 disk
dbb version?
Is what I am trying to do impossible? Any advice/suggestions are
appreciated! Thanks in advance!
