Yes I have scripts that do the job for a.o. AIX 3.2 they work on OnLine 7 versions only are event (alarmprogram) based and even function correct if the next log completes before the backup of the previous log is completed. It functions now for 2 years, doing 10 - 20 logs of 20Mb per day on a 7 day / week basis. Also recovery of the database and rolling forward 24 hours of tansactions has proven to work correctly. The only thing is that implementation, maintenance and operation (starting/stopping engines, interupting/restarting logging a.s.o.) and recovering a database requires some documentation. This documentation is only available in dutch now. PLease react if you are interested in some way Gert van Eck DBA Nederland BV
