Re: tbtape -c in background

Actually the whole log backup process sort of irritates me. We do a full level 0 backup every night and we're willing to reload that backup (losing a day's work) if there's a disk crash. So the logical logs aren't worth all that much to us. I realize there are lots of places that must recover every committed transaction, but I'm sure there are lots, like us, that don't. An option to NOT do logical logs (like Rdb/VMS has) would be really welcome. dwight In article <334DEF28.20DC@west.co.za>, marks@west.co.za says... > >Greg Salmon wrote: >> >> Mark D.
