Search Again: Data Backup Procedures OG File Back up From: Inet7.com Date: Thursday, October 24, 2002 Time: 3:02:36 pm Hello Shawn, (sorry for the "keyworded" subject line..you'll understand why shortly) I've been searching and reading the archives all day for a clear "step-by-step" procedure for backing up our OG datafiles. We are running FMPRO Server, the web server and all on one server. (is that bad?). With that in mind is the following statement true? "You cannot backup files that are in use or open. So we have to schedule a backup job through FMPro Server using the back-up utility within FMPRO Server. This apparently should close all open connections, create and dump a backup of the files into a directory that you can come by and grab with a tape system, then FMPRO Server should restart just after the dump." (this is what I'm fin to tell my server guys who have so made it my duty to tell them how to backup the data). Let me know if this is accurate or fill me in. If you have a thread that answers this...feel free to post.
