SWA synchronization goes down 91% on average when you go from V4R5 to V5R1. Caution: You need a lot of disk arms.

The save while active process was designed to backup objects as they were being used. The caveat has always been... you have to have a "quiet system" for a few minutes to set it all up. It is infinitely better than having to have people out of the application during the entire save! The synchronization process doesn't take very long. On my system I spend maybe 15-20 minutes a night at 2AM. If your users are unable to give up 15-20 minutes for backup then you need to look into setting up a fully redundant backup system with automatic fail over. Your users will probably have a hard time justifying a million dollars to keep 15-20 minutes a night of availability.... ours did. Kenneth **************************************** Kenneth E.
