Re: Command to only backup and clear archive logs

2018-02-20 Thread Hans Christian Riksheim
Hi,

it takes  1,5 hours for 1,3 TB of database if everything is OK.. Two
streams to tape.  Problem is sometimes that is too long time if the
dbbackup is triggered when the log is 80(?) percent and something is going
on which creates lot of archivelogs. Like reorganization.. I think it was
more convenient with TSM version 5 where "backup incremental" would clear
the log in no time.

What are you backing your DB up to?  Could you use some flash disk or tiered 
disk storage?  Create a special device class just for this situation, backup 
your database to it, then immediately start your normal DB backup.  As soon as 
the normal backup is complete you can delete the fast disk backup and return 
the space.

Cheers

you need a bigger archive log, or better backup performance (more recent 
versions of TSM allow you to specify the number of parallel sessions in set 
dbrecovery).
