Re: Online backup of Redhat-Linux OS

When my database application is running in my linux box on that time If i took backup using Mondo rescue than is there any problem??

I cannt shutdown my application during system running

In HP-UX we can took online backup of vg00 using make_tape_recovery

Did mondo do the same thing as make_tape_recovery does??

Thanks

Re: Online backup of Redhat-Linux OS

Hi,
If you have a database like oracle even make_tape_recovery is not the solution to backup it online.
For linux, like Yvan write Mondo is a free bare metal recovery tool and you can backup your OS online. Mondo is develop by a HP man.
It's a very good tool and it's free.
Hope it helps

Re: Online backup of Redhat-Linux OS

if you think you have a valid image for disaster recovery of your database when using ignite, you are sadly mistaken.

i suggest you perform a test on another machine, you will come to the inclusion that your database is useless or at least errornous.

Re: Online backup of Redhat-Linux OS

I highly recommend mondorescue. I have been using for almost a year and it has been extremely useful. You can do a full system backup similar to Ignite. The interface is really easy to use. You can easily write a script that will create an ISO for you. You can then burn the iso (which is bootable) and be back up in no time. I use it for DR and cloning systems. It works great.
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"

Re: Online backup of Redhat-Linux OS

Mondorescue seems pretty much standard these days; at my customer site they're using SystemImager which also has a long track record, usually for doing golden images, which makes it really similar to Ignite for HP-UX.
yesterday I stood at the edge. Today I'm one step ahead.
