Backup to another location/service

You say this is replicating the partion that Vantage is on.
If your "real" vantage server (the one running the database)
goes down, how do you start it (Progress) back up on the standby
server? Is it a manual operation? Or is this just for data backup?

Anyone out in DCD/Dataworks/Platinum/Epicor - Vantage/eMfg world ever do
a secondary backup to a computer off site (either your own or a service
on the web or something)?

I was thinking about having a off site copy of our system in the event
of disaster besides taking a backup tape home with me.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!!!!

The top drawer of my dresser at home is our off-site storage for backup tapes. Too expensive for those other services, especially if you want to rotate daily like I do.

I've got a standalone version Vantage 3.0 installed on a laptop dedicated to this purpose. I "burn" the significant files to a CD and restore them to the laptop. This serves two purpses for me: 1.) I KNOW my backup is good (leaned this one the HARD way). 2.) I could run my entire operation on this machine for a short period of time. It would be a huge hassle - but not as big a pain as being "down" for a week.

How often do you burn that CD?

Anyone doing server replication? IÂ’ve recently gone to a consolidated
storage solution (Xiotech Magnitude 2.6TB) where my various servers connect
to the Xiotech via Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters
(faster than scsi). Each server has a portion of the consolidated disk
partitioned for its use… as a result I’m able to keep a “Hot Stand-by”
server in our building across the street (connected via fiber) in which I
kept a disc subsystem replicating my Vantage partition from the active
Vantage partition.

ThatÂ’s the 10,000ft overviewÂ… if you would like more detail, contact me off
channel.

Happy Holidays.

What does it take to bring this stand-by server online if needed?
