RE: BRMS-Can it speed up our save?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We've taken the tack that taking our Domino servers down to due a backup is
a good test of our clustering.  For explanation - we have two Domino 400's
involved here.  Every night we drop the one and it's 8 partitions of
Domino.  Then Domino clustering automatically routes them over to the other
400 and it's 8 partitions.  Based on these 'tests' we've found some grounds
for improvement, and have acted upon them.  Nope, we'll keep bringing them
down.

Although for DR purposes, there is some pressure to move the backup 400
more than 2 feet from the primary.  And last week was the first week we ran
with all of our 400's in one room.

A neat thing about BRMS is that it can use the "Incremental backup
forever" architecture.  A relational database keeps track of all the
changes and helps to keep the recovery tapes organized.  The process
reduces both backup times and recovery times.

This is in contrast to the "Grandfather, Father, Son" strategy, where
recovery is the latest full backup plus the latest incremental saves.
It's a major change in backup/recovery concepts.

Doesn't TSM use BRMS to perform AS/400 backups?  It (BRMS) is the best
way to backup Domino database without taking down Domino!

|What I am hoping for is a way to use both 3590's simultaneously, in
|restricted state, to do our saves.  Is there a way to do this?  We are
|running V5R1.  We have BRMS but haven't gotten around to using it.
|
|If BRMS is the magic pill then how do we go about implementing that?
RTFM

heard

|previous releases.
