What
OS are you running Mike? I was thinking of implementing that for some of our bigger databases
as the
IO is brutal during backups.

  We
  have a 550Gb database which we backup nightly via a disk mirror set   split. The mirror set is then mounted on our failover/reporting hardward   and written to tape. Archived redo logs are written to tape twice daily   and kept on disk for 3 days.

    Hello,
        I'm curious how people
    handle the backups for
        large/very large databases;
    200gb or greater. Received on Fri Oct 26 2001 - 14:59:18 CDT
