Re: [U2] Remote backup
Hi Manu. I was thinking in the possibility of running the uvbackup command directly against a "device" that looks like REMOTE_IP:PORT. Maybe using the "-t" parameter, or maybe using pipes. I guess it could be done with the rsync or "netcat" unix command, but I can not use it in some enviromments like AIX and HP-UX. However, I'll be very glad to see your UV.MULTI.BACKUP.

Re: [U2] Remote backup
Augusto: We've written a couple of scripts to manage backups on both Windows and Linux machines. They essentially do the following: 1) start (unattended) at a particular time each day (use crontab or Scheduled Tasks). 2) manage the local dbms backup - when we were on D3 we did the D3 backup to a local file then these backup scripts picked them up in tar or ntbackup. However, now that we're on UniData there is no UniData backup so we just use tar and ntbackup. 3) run the machine backup (via tar or ntbackup) to a local file. 4) compress the backup file (to make it more manageable). 6) copy the machine backup file to an archive directory on the local machine. 6) ftp the backup file to another "backup" machine on the local network. 7) email the entire progress of this process to the system administrator. On a weekly basis, we use a slight variation of the scripts on a remote machine elsewhere in the country. This script gets the latest backup file from the backup server and sftps it to the remote machine. Thus we get daily backups on each machine which are also stored on a shared drive elsewhere on the network. In addition, each week our latest backups are copied to a remote location. We're still looking for more of a 24/7 solution without complicating our lives and requiring a "full-time" administrator to make sure it all works. We've been looking at MozyPro and Acronis but haven't completely understood all of the variations and permutations of configurations to determine if these solutions will, in fact, work. Always happy to share what we have in this area. You may want to look at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AutomateNTBackup for a general idea, but I could publish a few more specific scripts.

Re: [U2] Convert AREV/Paint definition to SB+
The idea between PAINT and SB is similar - contact either Andrew or Carl at www.sprezzatura.com - they'll be able to help you. Tell them Dennis referred you if the want to know. 2008/11/23 Manu Fernandes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, > > > > I'm in contact with a site where a package written in "AREV" is running > under Universe/NT. > > They are using "AREV/PAINT" tool to draw screen input. > > > > AREV/PAINT seems to be near of SB+ concept. > > > > Is there someone with experience to port AREV/PAINT definition to SB+ ? > > > > Thanks for any advice. > > > > Manu Fernandes > --- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Remote backup
Hi, Me too, I use uvbackup to perform backups. I have a little BASIC prog called "UV.MULTI.BACKUP" whoch select all UV.ACCOUNT and create a uvbackup file per account. I start the BASIC program from a Windows .bat / unix script Scheduled on Windows Task Manager / crontab like this : UVHOME= PATH=... ; %UVHOME% Cd %UVHOME% Uv "UV.MULTI.BACKUP params..." Xcopy *.uvb \\server\... UVHOME= PATH=... :$UVHOME Cd $UVHOME Uv "UV.MULTI.BACKUP params..." Xcopy *.uvb \\server\... Rsync *.uvb serveur:path.. I'm ready to share this UV.MULTI.BACKUP.
