Hi Folks,

After losing the sysdisc last week we have had some questions and discussion
about Image log files and how to save them.
Logging to tape is not practical an a pain in the.  Logging to disc is great
as long as you don't lose ldev 1 (as we found out the hard way).
So one idea we came up with to use FTP to copy the log file to a PC on the
network every ½ hour. While this does not save all your info losing a ½ hour
is better than loosing 8-12 hours work.
Any body want to shoot holes in this method or come up with another (disc
raid excluded) please do so.
I though that there might be a product available that would copy records
from the log file to a PC backup file as they are written but could not find
any (any takers out there).
While I would not bet the farm on a PC it might be a cheap way to save us a
lot of time and trouble.

Thanks for the time and input
