For convenience, reliability as well as better performance, I would recommend logging to disk vs. tape. Also, with this method, the log files can be picked up in your regular backups as an additional copy for archive purposes. It is best to separate the log files off on a volume set other than where the databases that are being logged reside. ---------- After having a disk crash on my HP3000/979KS I now want to setup transaction logging on all my databases incase this problem should occur again The questions I need to know is how best to setup this system. Can anyone help me with some input to the following : What is best media for the log file Disk/Tape ? Is it better to put the logfiles on a Private volume incase a system disc is lost and you need to reload the system ? Any help would be greatly appreciated Colin Berg [log in to unmask] * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html * ********** Posted from www.3kworld.com * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
