RE: SAVLIB to FTP where files > 1tb

Hi,

Yeah I'm afraid it's just a few very very large files (more than 1000
gig each)

Thanks

Mike

Compress your save files. Use DTACPR(*MEDIUM) when creating them. For
database objects you can potentially see an 80+% reduction in SAVF size.

Are your individual files over a TB or just the total? If the total,
then
try multiple smaller saves.
Do all of them change each day? If not, have you tried saving just the
changed objects?

Having some issues here,

I would love to FTP my data on a nightly basis to another FTP server

this doesn't seem to be possible...

It appears that this is no issue what so ever if you are able to

backup

to a SAV file and then FTP the sav file over.

Unfortunately my files are > 1tb and so I need double the amount of

disk

space to do the backup.

My questions:

1) Why do I need to dupe my data to achieve this, why can't I stream

it

straight over ftp?

2) Can I somehow split it up into many smaller files that can be sent
individually as the backup is processing and then cleared down?

3) How can I get cheap temporary disk space (preferably something like
IDE?) that's not going to cost me an arm and a leg just for this?

Cheers guys, appreciate your time

Mike
