Backup of VPO Data
Two Methods: Offline Backup -- Use: • Offline Backup – Shutdown VPO Server – No Operator activities – Low requirements on Rresources • Online Backup – Keep VPO running – Minimum downtime (7x24) – High demand on diskspace and CPU • Runstring: opc_backup opc_recover • Activities: – Shutdown VPO and ORACLE – Save configuration data – Save message data – Save OpenView file tree 12 Server Administration [vpo_server_admin]
Online Backup Benefits and Drawback
• No Shutdown of Server or GUIs • Minimum Downtime • Full Recovery to any Point in Time • Java GUI fully Operational during Backup • Online Backup Saves to Disk only • Need to Run ORACLE in LOG_ARCHIVE mode • High Demand for Diskspace 13 Server Administration [vpo_server_admin]
Online Backup Integration
