742.0. "Soltice from SUN" by TLAV02::SOMNUK () Wed Jun 04 1997 21:08

    Dear All,
    
    Right now we complete with SUN on backup solution. SUN has propose
    Soltice. SUN claim that it can do a prallel backup of Informix
    Database. SUN said that it can backup a single file in parallel to
    multiple devices. Is this true? Is there such technology in the
    industry? It similar to RAID technology. Does anybody know this product
    well? We want to beat SUN out of this account badly since it is our
    install-based. This is a Telecom account. They buy US$ 4 million each
    year so we don't want to lose this account.
    
    Thank You Very Much
    
    Regards,
    Somnuk

	Soltice Backup is a repackaged NetWorker. Currently Sun's web pages list version 4.2.6. NetWorker 4.3 for Digital UNIX is based on 4.2.7 code plus many enhancements. There is an informix business suite product for solaris, hp-ux and aix (see the URL: www.legato.com/prod/dmi.html). We do not have an informix module for Digital UNIX at this time. Where is the database going to run?

	What do you mean by where is the database going run? Is it mean the machine? It will be running on AS8400. Do we have any other solution that we can do a parallel backup the Informix database (a database file). Regards, Somnuk

	NetWorker can backup raw partitions in parallel. We're working on plans for the Informix module because of field demand - however, we're not there yet. Wes
742.4	How to backup raw devices?	TLAV01::SOMNUK		`Thu Jun 05 1997 22:41`	6
	How do we backup from raw device? Does the browser (nwbackup) able to see the raw device or do we have to use a command line mode to backup the raw devices. Regards, Somnuk
