Hi all,
We have two 2100/475's and some 3000/400's here running long computational
jobs (they run for weeks/months at a time). I was wondering do people
have experience with backing up systems like this? It is not feasible
to bring the sytems into single user mode, or unmount the disks before
backing up. Should we simply send STOP and CONT signals to all non-root
processes while backing up? Is that enough? Is it too much?
I remember a thread some time ago about Unix filesystems being much
more vulnerable than VMS systems, etc. What does this mean in the search
for a system that will work for long running processes.....?
TIA for any help,
David.
