We only DB Pause the system long enough to sync up a parallel copy of the database on our SAN. The parallel copy then gets unmounted off the production server. It is mounted on the backup up server and a tape backup is done. You need enough disk for another copy of your production files. We mount the backup file system on another machine because tape processes slowed our production box down, so we setup a special server just for backups.

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?
