Hi Mark, Just ideas, I haven't tried this, but ... How about defining your default DB backup to be on virtual volumes at the offsite location. Run a full backup at a convenient time when there's not much activity, and then daily incrementals. Run a db snapshot daily to local media.
Alternatively, Run db backup or snapshot to local disk, then compress - gzip compresses db backups about 10 to 1, then move offsite by ftp or whatever Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Queensland Health, Brisbane Australia >>> "Remeta, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 19/10/2001 4:00:26 >>> Hello everyone. We are in the position to possibly have a T-1 between our offices and our hot site and the question has come up how to utilize the T-1 to make disaster recovery quicker. The easy answer is to backup the database to the hot site but the size of our database ~~24gb makes that impractible. I was wondering if anyone else out there has a similar setup and how they are using it. Any information would be appreciated.
