I'm curious to know if you were successful with stopping the service and copying the .ibv files.
Anton- you say we "shouldn't" do this", but why not? It sounds like a good plan for shops that can afford the downtime.
If the caches are flushed after 5 seconds, it "sounds" safe
Starwind has HA, mirroring, fallover, clustering, Snaphot/CDP, etc. But none of these is a simple backup of the files.
It's unclear (to me) what "replication" means here.
Ed.
btw- Anton, thanks for your patience and luciid explanations. Sometimes it may seem unappreciated, but we are fortunate that you pay so much attention to this forum!
chop wrote:That does sound great, but when creating a new snapshot/disk and you choose the journal location, you are only allowed to use local devices and not network based file storage. Or I am totally missing the point?
The snapshot/journal is no good as a backup solution if the data is held on the same device.
Cheers
