Jeff,
We also are a 24/7 shop and we use Tivoli Storage Manager and just
back up Unidata hot. What happens is that some very active files will have
errors when restored and we simply run fixfile, fixgroup, etc to throw out
the incomplete records. This is not perfect, but gets us 99% of the way.
Or you could mirror your data, break off the mirror, backup the
mirror and then resync the mirrors. This would require a large hardware
investment, but would be fairly easy to implement on AIX.
Thanks.

Subject: [U2] Backup, dbpause & 24/7 operation
As our company grows we are getting more pressure to extend our
operation through the night. We have maintained a nightly backup that
does a dbpause to suspend unidata. This irritates our night shift people
since they can no longer use the system.
How do those companies who operate 24/7 get around this and perform
backups?
Thanks,
SB 5.3.8
