I've done that before many times, it works fine. I think it's a good solution for the situation you describe - if you have problems with the log filling up, set up the DBBACKUP trigger to fire an INCREMENTAL, instead of a full, to disk instead of tape.
Then write your FULL to tape when you have time. -----Original Message----- From: Jolliff, Dale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 10:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DB backups Is anyone doing db backups to disk using devclass type FILE? I know, it's not necessarily a good thing, but right now we have a db that is large enough that the log can fill before a full db backup can run. Before I set this up, I'm wondering if anyone else is doing this.
