This is what we do too. In addition:

- We back up the rest of the Vantage server with our regular backup software
(Backup Exec) but do NOT backup the .db folders.

- We copy the backup file to another server just to have a copy handy in case
we want to restore and not have to go get the tape that's currently off-site.

Hello,



We are running Vantage 8.03.305 on OpenEdge.

How are others out there backing up their progress databases?



I am using a script that runs probkup and outputs the backup to a
network drive which is backed up nightly.



I'm wondering if there is a more effective approach or is this the most
common way to do backup?

Hello,

I am using a script that runs probkup and outputs the backup to a
network drive which is backed up nightly.

I'm wondering if there is a more effective approach or is this the most
common way to do backup?

You could use 7 zip in the backup process to compress the DB more if
space is ever an issue.

Joe,
Nope! That's what we do as well.
