Understanding Live Data Backups With Sbadmin

POSTED BY admin on Dec 31, 2007 under Computers and Technology

As the need for system availability increases, especially in 24 hour operations, the backup “window” must decrease to prevent data from changing while being backed up.

Backing up “live” data can cause erroneous or partially updated files after such data is restored from a backup. This is particularly problematic with databases, which typically have relational data that must be kept in sync.

SBAdmin includes the ability to perform a snap shot, or point in time backup of any live data contained in Logical Volumes. Logical Volumes are software storage devices used exclusively on AIX systems and are quickly becoming a standard installation storage configuration on Linux systems.
