"dbpause" and "dbresume" allow any background processes (e.g. PHANTOM or
WebDE (Redback)) to continue running. You do not have to have a restart
procedure.
Additionally, as long as your backup methodology is brief - a SAN "snap" or
a mirrored drive split - then anyone using Telnet, UniObjects or OD
You get an extra benefit from stopud and startud in that your database will be
consistent.
dbpause does not enforce consistency
Personally I would never suggest using dbpause to take a snapshot because of
that issue.
You're never guarenteed that you have a clean consistent copy.

When I do a LISTU all our humans log in with telnet sessions and that appears
in the Terminal No column along with their process id. However we have several
users that appear as "console:" where is also their process id.
What is a console user? What does it
If you drop into Universe from a dos shell you are a console user windows

So these are some kind of processes that are doing uvshell from DOS?
Must be Redback I guess

If you have put transaction processing semantics in your code you will have
logical consistency with dbpause. For RFS enabled systems, dbpause forces a
checkpoint.

That's the rub isn't it?
We have a few thousand programs written over 30 years, and only a limited
staff, and users always want more.
Users don't see the need to go back and *fix* code that's working, and/or are
not willing to pay you to do it.
It's a cost-benefit issue. For a site that doesn
RFS with TP has been available in UniData for 15-20 years too.
I understand your issues. I'm just saying you do have the ability in UniData to
generate a consistent backup (physical and logical) using dbpause.

I don't think I've ever encountered an environment where the programmers
actually rewrote hundreds of programs to use transaction sets just so they
could then use dbpause. Sounds like a company heading for bankruptcy ;)
