Cant even remember what you wrote dave as I deleted it ! -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of David McMullin Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 10:09 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Cc: wtsm...@maine.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Question on DB online backups
Wayne - you are right - I totally misread the message thread, my comments were addressed to the original questioner. Your comments were an excellent summation of the options to backup the data. My comments were basically meant to indicate that how you want to restore the data, and where, will direct your backup plan. Also, the hardware and application limitations impact it.

If this was the commenter's purpose, it worked. - If the commenter wrote "Wayne" when he meant the questioner ... never mind.
