Dear All, I have some questions to ask, let say we the database to backup and we have only 1 database file (data.dbf). 1. Does multiple tape drives help in doing parallel backup since it is only a file? Does parallel backup of NSR is similar to striping in RAID? 2. Can NSR do parallel backup if we have only one directory but multiple files in that directory? ie., Does multiple files get backup to multiple devices? 3. Does NSR support backup of raw device? ie., no database module add on or any database backup utility, just NSR. 4. Can we ask NSR perform a shell script before we do a backup? Thank You Regards, Somnuk

1. ...multiple tape drives... No a single save set will go to a single tape. It is more efficent to keep your logical volumes smaller and ask the database to split the tables between more logical disks. This also reduces the amount of data risked by a single hardware failure. 2. ...multiple files... Only if you start seperate saves for each file 3. ... raw device... Yes, fully supported with 4.3 for DIGITAL UNIX 4. ... shell script... Yes before/after each save, not before/after each group | |||||

Re question 4. Where do we put the script? I couldn't find the place to
put the script. Is it under Netwerker Admin and which menu?
Thanks you for answering

Somnuk
