make_recovery

What are the implications of using make_recovery -A on a 24/7 system? I would like to run this on a system monthly but I wanted to know how this will effect the system as it is running.

Thanks,

There could be some performance hit, the amount of depends on the system itself. You could run the make_recovery in a cron job and have it fire off at some during the PM or early AM.

Hi,

It should not affect you much if you are not using root volume group heavily or heavy disk i/o when make_recovery is running.But as advised it is safe to run at night when user activities are negligible.

Hi,

As pointed out, there may be some slight performance degradation during the operation but otherwise there is no effect.

I'm not sure I would run make_recovery from cron since I would be likely to forget it and possibly have the wrong tape in the drive. Instead, I would set up an at job before going home for the evening and threaten bodily harm to anyone touching the tape drive :).

Justin,
I agree with the gurus. There will be a little impact on the system performance. So you can schedule the job at non-peak hours. We have scheduled them to be on every sunday early morning in a cron job.
To have the latest ignite-backup definitely increases the comfort level of an SA. ;-)0.
