Hello Joe

Just schedule another backup of the archive logs 1 hour (or 5 minutes) after the regular backup. NetBackup will take a second (complete) backup of the archive file and when you want to restore , restore the last copy of the files.

  RESEND: never saw it get posted:

  Can we force veritas netbackup (HPUX) to NOT backup open files?

  Here is the problem: while arch process is writing out archive logs, the netbackup script that backs up the arch directory will write a partially written log to tape, we're trying to avoid that.

  is our only alternative determine(out of data dictionary) how many log groups we have and assuming 3, that if we take the max log seq# minus the numebr of groups we have, gives us the oldest log that we can be sure is complete?

  ie: current log is 543, we have 3 log groups, 543-3 = 540, since oracle wouldnt start overwriting # 540 until it was successfully archived, that we can back up, up thru log seq# 540 and can be sure # 540 is complete?

  thanks, joe
