Using SpectroWatch is a good idea, it opens several possibilities; thanks for that. Regards Nick

I am thinking of: evaluation by IMT which should still be there in 8.x. In addition you could use the script execution option to write the most current value into a script file. Upon re-start of SS you could use the data in the script file vs. the data from SSdb. At the end it boils down to the question what is more resource consuming: online backup of SSdb or watches, script and ASCII files. Again, just an idea that came to mind immediately.

I want to make sure that I have the best solution available; if that means increasing the frequency of backups, then so be it. Regards Nick _____ From: Robers, Mario [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 07 July 2010 15:03 To: Nick Sanders Subject: RE: [spectrum] Saving Internal Attributes to SS db Ok never thought of it this way because only when you normally shutdown the spectroserver the database from memory is written to the database files . So when you crash you lose the data you havent saved before. Regardless of setting the database flag The only thing I can think of is increasing the interval of when online-backup is scheduled to maybe twice a day. would that be sufficient Regards......

They are either set directly by user input or by inference handlers. Thanks Nick _____ From: Robers, Mario [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 06 July 2010 21:59 To: Nick Sanders; spectrum Subject: RE: [spectrum] Saving Internal Attributes to SS db HI Nick, Have you creates these specific attributes yourself ? What flags have you set when you created them ? Regards...... Mario From: Nick Sanders [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 17:53 To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] Saving Internal Attributes to SS db Hi List, I have an issue where for security reasons, we are saving information about a device configuration in internal attributes. The problem is, that internal attributes do not get written to disk until SpectroSERVER is either shutdown, or the automatic backup occurs. If in the meantime if there is a power failure or a SpectroSERVER crash, all our data is lost. Does anyone know of a way to force SS to save to disk any changes made to the db? We are running 8.1 on Solaris.
