On the original question, I have moved DBs on AIX with LVM several times with good success. The only real concern is the performance impact. The benefit over mirroring is you can do it with no outage at all. I have 3 servers with similar sized DBs on AIX with NetApp SAS disk on the back end, back

It should be one of two solutions, make a copy to a copypool or (highly discouraged) set the deduprequiresbackup option to no. In my book, the risk of mass data loss is too high in a dedupe storage pool without a copy. In a non-dedupe pool, if you lost a volume and didn't have a copy, you might l

I'm a little late on this, but it looks like your main concern is avoiding all the directory structure being backed up as well. You've already excluded the other files and you're only backing up what you want. Your second exclude line is redundant I think, but it would not prevent it from workin
