We take two complete backups a day on both of our servers to tape (LTO5 currently) - a FULL that stays onsite, and a SNAPSHOT that gets moved onsite. We keep these backups for two weeks before recycling them. We have yet to need them, but tape is cheap so it's worth it. On 07/09/2014 05:03 AM, Ste

Look at the "h define dbb", you can only specify a devclass, so a scratch volume would be used. (Note that you could choose different devclasses for fulls and incremental : tape devclass for fulls, and file devclass for incrementals is the idea...). -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي E

Hi Kiran, Of course, enabling automatic backups of the db by a trigger does not prevent from ding manual backups. Manual backups (or planned ones) are still the recommanded way to backup the db. The trigger should only be a safety valve. It's not mandatory to define a db backup trigger when y
