Our current mess includes 3, 2-hour backups overlapping over 4.5 hours. Considering that these are all taken from the original... This is bad. One thing that we have been looking at is DBPAUSE. The problem being that anything running is left to finish. Not a good pause in my book. But the interesting suggestion is the fsclone command in UNIX. This has been reported to us that it could allow us to do an initial backup in about 15 minutes (that's what was told to us) and then from that inactive clone we would take our needed multiple backups. Comments?

They are really 24/7. With the exception of Friday 3-5AM. It also seems that between those hours, every day, the system is at it quietest. I don't know what they are using at this point. But, I am asking now. I am just trying to help. This system is 99.9% Unidata, some files that move between systems but just a few.

How long does their weekly backup take? Are they really 24x7, or do they shut down for the backup? How do they currently do the backup? Uvbackup? Cpio? How much of their data is outside of u2 on unix files? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Hite > Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 9:28 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] Backup Question > > > Hello all, > > > > I have a client that only does backup once a week.
