RESEND: never saw it get posted:
Can we force veritas netbackup (HPUX) to NOT backup open files?
Here is the problem: while arch process is writing out archive logs,
the netbackup script that backs up the arch directory will write a partially
written log to tape, we're trying to avoid that.
is our only alternative determine(out of data dictionary) how many log
groups we have and assuming 3, that if we take the max log seq# minus the numebr
of groups we have, gives us the oldest log that we can be sure is
complete?
ie: current log is 543, we have 3 log groups, 543-3 = 540, since
oracle wouldnt start overwriting # 540 until it was successfully archived, that
we can back up, up thru log seq# 540 and can be sure # 540 is complete?
thanks, joe
