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.
