If your scripts do not somehow take account of transactions that span across
2 logs, this will drop transactions.

Subject: RE: [U2] Does anybody have a hot backup server?

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.

Subject: [U2] Does anybody have a hot backup server?

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.

TIA
