RE: Old Topic I'm Sure

["Shrader, Patrick" <pshrader@xxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Speaking as someone who just finished a complete reload of my system due to
a failed hard drive, I was very thankful that I have daily backups. Just
this weekend, after 38 hours of restore time, we only lost ten minutes worth
of transactions (thankfully).

3 shift operations come to a complete halt when the system is down. I
suggest that you immediately install a high-availability system (MIMIX or
similar) or schedule some downtime to get a good save on a regular, and
frequent, basis.

Patrick

All,



I apologize if this is an old topic, but what are those of you doing for
reliable nightly MAPICS or other data backups for 3-shift operations, with
no offshift systems support?  Currently, I only do a MAPICS backup weekly
and a library backup nightly ... however during my nightly backups some
files are skipped because they are in use.  This is an area I have been
somewhat lax in and need to get better before I get stung.



Any suggestions/hints are appreciated.
