1 million transaction a day means less than 20 transaction per second. 200 GB on SSD storage is a matter of minutes to be copied. Are you sure that nbackup won't do what you want? PS: I would suggest replication. Your 20 tps is low-load. -- WBR, SD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
