Hi Arne, 1.) dbmcli -d ... -u ...,... -uUTL -c util_execute VERIFY 2.) The archive stage command is intended for archiving log backups produced by AutoSave Log into an external backup tool. As you archive with the help of your script, tar and gzip, just ignore them. If you use AutoSave Log instead of explicit log backups, please make sure, that the database is not still creating the last of the log backups you are archiving (e.g. by changing the used AutoSave Log medium before starting the archiving).

M�rz 2003 17:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: verify devspaces Hi everyone, as the last step in migrating from *dabas-D to SAP-DB, I am rewriting my backup scripts. My backup strategy is something like: daily (1:30): - archive old backups - verify devspaces - full backup (DATA) - update statistics every 6 hours (7:30, 13:30, 19:30): - incremental backup (PAGES) every 2 hours (3:00, 5:00 ... etc): - log backup (LOG) My questions: 1) How do I verify the devspaces using dbmcli? In the DBMGUI there is the item Check->Database, but I cannot find any command in the DBMCLI with the same function. 2) When archiving my old backups, is it enough to just tar/gzip the files (I am using file devices) or do I have to use the "archive_stage" command? What type of medium is the <ext_backup_medium> for that command?
