Informix with Netbackup

I am looking for users that are using Netbackup to do archive and logical=20 log backups. How is Netbackup configured and does it handle the loigical log backup=20 load efficiently? How frequently do the logical logs get backed up on a=20 busy system? Does it have a dedicated network with Informix or shared? I may have follow-up questions later. With Warm Regards, Sudhir Katke

I am not sure I will be able to answer your questions in full detail but here goes. > How is Netbackup configured and does it handle the logical log backup load efficiently? Usually two separate policies: one for full or incremental backups; and one for logical log backups. You may also want to back up the emergency boot file and ixbar file separately. Yes, Netbackup is efficient IMHO. It can require separate tuning for both backups and restores. > How frequently do the logical logs get backed up on a busy system? As often as they are completed and the instance switches logs. This is done by the the instance calling the alarmprogram with event class 23 which runs onbar if BACKUPLOGS=Y. > Does it have a dedicated network with Informix or shared? Up to you. Ben.
