RE: Backup Over A Network?

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It looks like you are backing up over a network.

My definition of backing up over a network would be to do a SAVxxx command
to a device on  a remote system.

What Vision does (as well as Data Mirror and Lakeview do) is to replicate
your data to another system, which has to absorb the overhead of rebuilding
all of the access paths, and of course have enough disk to hold over what
data you need before you can suck it off to tape.  (BTW #1, don't run out
of disk.  BTW #2, the rules of IBM library.object locking are not always
well documented.)  Then you have to do traditional SAVxxx operations,
although when you restore to the "source system", you have to abide by all
of the rules of restoring to a "different system", because the serial
number of the system you are restoring to (the "source system") is
different from the system that you saved from (the "target" system".)

I have never seen this actually work, but I thought I had heard of a
backup process utilizing network connections
