Need fast archive for Informix
Posted in 1996
I need the help of the collective net wisdom!
I am searching for alternatives to ontape and on-archive.
On-archive is not reliable (according to just about everyone I
talk to). On-tape is just too slow. It currently takes us 20+
hours to archive our 80+ GB database. That is when there is
little update/delete activity. During heavy posting, it can
stretch to 40 hours for a level 0 archive.
I am looking for 3rd party sources for archiving our Informix
7.1 database in parallel to multiple tape drives. The solution
must either be compatible with Informix continuous logging or
provide a comparable feature.
I would also like to hear from anyone who is SUCCESSFULLY
(archiving, restoring, and logging) using On-archive on 80+ GB
databases.
Any options, ideas, or words of wisdom would be greatly
appreciated.
