Re: Why not IPL? (Was: RE: Long backup time after IPL)

["James W. Kilgore" <eMail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Back to the original question: Why do Monday backups take longer?

Since I don't know what your current backup strategy is, I'm going to
take a couple of shots in the dark here:

I've lost the original post so maybe you can fill in some gaps:

1) are you running 24/7?
2) are you doing save while active?
3) are you just saving changed objects?
4) are you journaling?

The reason I ask, I can imagine where the journal receivers are not
being backed up daily, but after the IPL they are no longer in use and
become available as a changed object and are being saved.

To test this out, you may want to determine the contents of the Monday
save and compare it to the objects saved the rest of the week.  You
might be surprised as to what is being excluded (for whatever reasons).
