We have several customers, running UniVerse on Linux and Windows platforms, that use UV transaction logging to keep a backup server nearly current with their main server. We have scripted the copying of full log files to the backup server where another script rolls them into a copy of the main database (account). On pre 10.2 UniVerse, the backup server is within one full log (10 mb worth of transactions) with the main server (about 15-30 minutes). On a UniVerse 10.2 server, running on Windows, we have set the logs to "time out" after two minutes, so that the backup server is within two minutes of being current with the main server.
The solution is well behaved and we have had it in place for the past few years. Kevin M. Sproule Sr. Technical Consultant AFS Technologies, Inc. 2141 E.

I am trying to put together a backup strategy that involves keeping a standby server within two data hours of the primary. The idea is to be able to have users log into the backup server and keep the business running in the event of a crash. I'd like to hear what solutions others have found for this. I've been trying to contact IBM for the last 6 months but they haven't answered and my ERP vendor doesn't know how to do this. Any ideas are appreciated.
