Joe,
On my system at Dow Corning, in addition to the BESR/SSR backup of all the
workstations as a matter of course, I also run CSA_Save every weeknight on
the CSA server (since we're always in the ICC mucking with the control
databases) just so I can sleep soundly. I roll up all the files created by
CSA_Save (one per control station) into a tar ball and name it with the
time and date. With these and the change tracking in Foxray, we are
confident it'll take multiple of multiple failures before we're brought to
our knees. (Let's hope Murphy doesn't get me for that boastful statement.)

Or would saving the entire /opt/fox/csa folder be a better approach?

Same site, same AW70 WinNT Node; different question... CSA_Save. I built a
clone Node for use as a development and testing Node, disconnected from the
production Node. We try to keep the 2 Nodes in synch but I have always
been
concerned with the ICC workfiles and the CPs getting out of synch. Is the
CSA_Save utility intended to be used as a preventative measure? If I
understand how it works it is useless once the ICC workfiles and the CPs
are
out of synch. My plan has been to periodically run CSA_Save and back up
those files, just in case. Is this the intent of CSA_Save? If it is, I
cannot see why this procedure would not be in everyone's periodic
maintenance procedure, just in case? What am I missing?
And I just want to make sure running it will not cause any problems on
existing host's CSA files.
Thanks
