Why couldn't you download the remote journals as opposed to express mailing tapes?

How big are the journals and how many transactions/hour. That will tell us how big a pipe needs to be available to the remote site.

This concept is easy but would most likely require 24 hours to back up the remote journals, express overnight delivery (or faster airline package, but way more money), restore, and roll forward. Is that inside your recovery window? (Recovery time)

My thought was to dual journal local and remote. In the case of a disaster that destroyed all data - fix the local system, restore last backup, copy remote journals local and apply them. Not looking for a hot swap site, just a place to keep journals so as not to lose a day's work if this were to happen. We backup nightly and take that off-site both database and journals but journals are on the same system so if the disaster where to happen at the end of the next work day I would lose that days transactions.

We use Mimix.

I haven't heard if any of the offsite backup places like Vault/400 allow you to remote journal to their locations.

I know of one person on this list who is offering cloud services for the i. Maybe that could be done that way. Unless your transactions are rather small, wouldn't that take a pretty good pipe?

Are your plans to restore on your home server, move the remote journal changes back and then apply them? Or restore on the backup, Apply the remote changes on the backup and then save and send the data back to primary?

Does anyone on this list know if and 3rd party or IBM is talking about
an offering for iSeries customers to do remote journaling to the
cloud? Keep one copy local and send another to a remote server farm.
That would give is almost up to the second recovery capabilities in
case of disaster. We use the last backup and the journals form the cloud.
