Re: Doing remote journals to the cloud

Clarification: they are not ftp'ed offsite, but ftp'ed to 2 PC's in the
office. We do a full system save 5 days a week at 3am (because we can). So
by the next morning those journals on those PC's are no longer necessary.

Remote journalling just for that to get up to the moment backups of
transactions is an interesting idea.

I know that Jeff Crosby changes his journal receivers on the hour, saves
the old ones and ftp's them offsite. Not as up to the moment but beats
losing a whole days transactions.

My thought was to dual journal local and remote. In the case of a disaster
that destroyed all data - fix the local system, restore last backup, copy
remote journals local and apply them. Not looking for a hot swap site,
just a place to keep journals so as not to lose a day's work if this were
to happen. We backup nightly and take that off-site both database and
journals but journals are on the same system so if the disaster where to
happen at the end of the next work day I would lose that days
transactions.

We use Mimix.

I haven't heard if any of the offsite backup places like Vault/400 allow
you to remote journal to their locations.

I know of one person on this list who is offering cloud services for the
i. Maybe that could be done that way. Unless your transactions are
rather small, wouldn't that take a pretty good pipe?

Are your plans to restore on your home server, move the remote journal
changes back and then apply them? Or restore on the backup, Apply the
remote changes on the backup and then save and send the data back to
primary?

Does anyone on this list know if and 3rd party or IBM is talking about an
offering for iSeries customers to do remote journaling to the cloud? Keep

one copy local and send another to a remote server farm. That would give
is almost up to the second recovery capabilities in case of disaster. We
use the last backup and the journals form the cloud.
