Amy issues with the restore order for journals and receivers? In our case the receivers would be restored first before the journal they are attached to.

What do you think would happen if I move the journal from JOURNALS to FILES? Will all the PFs that point to the journal in JOURNALS be changed to point to the new library or will I need to stop journaling, move the journals and then restart on all my files? The first option sounds easier, the second option sounds safer.

Mike,

It's best to have the journal (*JRN) in the same library as the files.
The journal receivers (*JRNRCV) can be in their own library.

We recently did a full backup from one system and restored to a new one (same serial number) and discovered after the restore that none of our files where being journaled. (SQL insert errors alerted us to this problem).  Our journals are in a library named JOURNALS and our files are in FILES (aren't we creative in our naming). FILES was restored prior to JOURNALS.

Is the best way to prevent this from reoccurring to rename JOURNALS as SSJOURNALS or move the journals into FILES? We put them in their own library in case someday we put them in their own ASP and so we could easily backup just journals if needed. Or we just know that this will occur, document it and be prepared to restart journaling after a full restore. Any words of wisdom for best practice?

Thanks
