Hi All;
I have an application that the users would like to change their
workflow. One of the ideas would require multiple backups during the
day, just to avoid losing work. When I backup DP, I usually have
everybody off the system, then copy the files to the backup location
and work from there. Obviously, this would be a bit cumbersome with
people working on it all day, especially if I want to do this
multiple times a day. Any thoughts ?
If this were running on a VM or storage area network or some such
with a SQL server, I would just schedule a job to quiesce the
database and take a snapshot of the files at that time and go from
there. I don't know of a similar command for DP, that is if there
are pending writes or the database is in an incoherent state where
the records are out of synch, I don't know how to force them to be in
synch without just throwing everybody out of the system. As it
stands, it is running on XP in a low budget environment, no SAN, no
NAS, no Windows server with VSS, no fancy backup appliance, just a
non-profit with a small database and a need..
thanks for any advice.
Bob
