Jeff:
Am I mistaken to assume this is for Linux (or other variant)? See,
things aren't anywhere near as easy as they seem. :-)

We don't mirror but we use filesystem snapshotting for a clean backup with less
than 10 seconds of downtime:
Dbpause
Sleep few (3-5) seconds
File system snapshot (5 seconds or so)
Dbresume
Backup from snapshot
Trash snapshot
Only cost in this is enough disk for snapshot.

Sounds so simple yet can be so complex and expensive. There are so many "ifs" with the
term "break the mirror" it's not much of a wonder that most small businesses never go
down that path; as much as we'd all like to! :-)
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a simple white-paper describing this
functionality so the next batch of inexpensive servers we bought we could
accomplish this. Presently I have to shut down the database and keep it
shutdown for the 30-60 minutes the backup runs. :-( Jeeze, we have simple
Windows backup scripts we've shared and would always share; you'd think U2
would have this down pat and distributed onto their site or to the wiki. Oh
well, should anyone figure out a simple, effective and inexpensive way to do
this sort of thing, please post it.

Hi All,
We're running UniVerse 10.1.17 on AIX 5.3 and the backup feature
included within our vendors software is pretty basic and only allows
backups of Universe to tape.

As others have mentioned, you can pause the database. If you've got a
mirror then DBPAUSE the database, break the mirror, and DBRESUME.
