Onbar question
Posted in 1998
Everyone,
We have just recently upgraded to 7.23UC3 from a 7.14 engine and want
to take advantage of the onbar utility. Our database is approx. 12G
and we are using Omniback as the storage manager backing up to a silo.
We have successfully done level 0,1 backups and restores in test, but
what I am not sure about is the way onbar handles backing up the logs.
We are currently using a script that handles alarms and backs up logs
to a file when they become full.
My question is this - Do I need to have a separate barlist for the
logs as opposed to a barlist that will back up to tape? Or will the
LTAPEDEV be used when the onbar -l is issued?
Also are there any success/horror stories using this utility or any
tips that people have found helpful?
I would like to implement this backup plan in production a.s.a.p.
since I am tired of changing dat tapes to back up this DB.
Manuallessly yours,
