Q: Datatransfer to Mirror-Database

Hello! We use: Digital-Unix 3.2G and Informix OL 7.24. The application over Informix is SAP R3. We want to create an test-environment on another box which shows like the original box. We have about 50 GB of Data in our Database and want day in, day out transfer all Data in our test-environment. We have detectet one way to transfer the data: ontape - Archive Level 0 and Restore then the test-env. The other way, we are discuss, is to export and import the data. But: This two ways are very time-expensive! Does anyone knows a better way to transfer database-data to an test-environment. (over an archive to disk or ... ?) Please feel free for any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Bye Andy -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
