I use uvbackup, and the UNIX dudes take their own system backups. Fortunately this is not a 24x7 operation, so there is a quiet time. I use uvbackup to a disk image (a disk not used at all by UniVerse applications), and that gets backed up in the system backup. I use SUSPEND.FILES to guarantee a clean backup. So do the UNIX dudes. Yay!
Why? I like the ability to be able to restore a single record in a hashed file, possibly renaming it in the process. And there's plenty of disk space. Using uvbackup to disk is acceptably quick, and offers the side benefit of reporting immediately whether any files were found to be corrupted. A shell script scans for this and sounds the alarm (email to a gateway that magics it into SMS). ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
