We successfully used the following Linux shell script commands to
backup our UniVerse accounts:
# next line locks the uv database
/IBM/uv/bin/uv -admin -L
/bin/tar c $TARGET 2> $FILE.log | gzip -c --fast 1> $FILE.tgz
# next line unlocks the uv database
/IBM/uv/bin/uv -admin -U
This method worked well in our production environment.

We are working with a client installing a SAN.
Our UniData database is up and running on SAN - quite peppy. We are using
dbpause/dbresume to do snapshots every 30 minutes on the database. Less
than 10 seconds to generate the snapshot! UniData doesn't even 'know' that
the files are not attached to the local "D" drives any longer - that "D"
drive is now an iSCSI attachment to a SAN drive across a gigibit connection.
So the move to the SAN was transparent - not even a VOC pointer had to be
touched. VERY cool.
Next database up is the UniVerse machine's files. But there is no 'dbpause'
in UniVerse (that I can find) -- how do we accomplish the same thing in
UniVerse we do in UniData with dbpause/dbresume - that is, stop/pause writes
to the database (albeit in a potentially incomplete state) so that we can
snapshot the disk and then resume the writes?
Thanks for any hints here!
