This is the way we always do it.
For associations, you might be better off creating a separate set of

The answer to that question is rooted in the backup methodology you are

perform your backup from the copy you split off. The SHARK offers Flash

Hi,
For starters, you might check the features of your AIX filesystem. Does it have
any kind of snapshot feature? If it does, you might only need to dbpause
while the snapshot command executes.
On DEC Tru64, we use the Advanced filesystem (AdvFS). It has a awesome
feature called clone

Beware! Unless your application makes full use of transaction processing,

This did happen to us once before, I think the circumstances were

When you reconnect/remirror the split drive do you have to re-sync the
complete volume or only the data that was updated since the split was
executed.
