RE: HA on a shoe string budget (was Merger of Vision and Mimix?)

We have been doing this for 3 of our customers for several years now. We
are a day behind, but that's better than being out of business. One of the
backup boxes sits in our data center and the customer has installed fiber
between us and them and wants us to modify the process to use remote
journaling to the backup system and update more often in real time. Our
current process batches the transaction for the day and FTPs them to the
backup system for application.

What were the general points in the "HA on a shoe string budget"
presentation?

-----------

The technique was written up in the Jan 2007 issue of System i News - page
PROVIP 35.

You must trick the remote computer into applying the remote journals
receivers that it is holding. That remote journal receiver identifies
itself with the production machine. The trick involves
creating/restoring from a savefile (both on the remote machine). Then
the remote machine will apply the updates to its files. If the
production machine goes down all of your data is current on the remote
machine after the last remote journal receiver has been applied. This
is a technique to protect your data - it does not coordinate a swap.
But the price is right - $zero!

Presentation and lab were great! COMMON session 500172 and lab session
