What is the recommended procedure for a live system regarding backups
and restores.  I am currently doing the following:

I am creating 3 backup mediums as follows:
The first for a complete backup which will be done nightly.
The second for an incremental backup to done reguarly through the day
The third as an auto log backup

dmcli commands as follows:
backup_media_put data c:\datasave FILE DATA 0 8 YES
backup_media_put auto c:\autosave FILE AUTO 0 8 YES
backup_media_put pages c:\pagesave FILE PAGES 0 8 YES
util_connect dbm,dbm
autosave_on
quit

When doing a complete backup, I do the following:
util_connect dbm,dbm 
backup_start data RECOVERY DATA
util_release

When doing the incremental backups I do the following:
util_connect dbm,dbm 
backup_start pages RECOVERY PAGES
util_release

It is my understanding that if autolog is turned on, then you do not
need to perform manual log backups.  If this is the case, shouldn't you
see files on the file system corresponding the file name in the medium ,
ie. \pagesave?? Should Autolog be on in a live system?

If you do automatic log backups, then is there any need to do
incremental backups (ie. PAGES) and vice versa, ie. if the log is backed
up, is there any need to do incremental backups?

Any assistance/recommendations (ie. example scripts) would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon Fox
