Hi List,
When I started here a few months ago all scripts were sort of in place
for backups but I have my doubts about something.
One of the things the scripts do is check if the database is up and
running, and if not starts the database and mounts it to take the
backup.
I seriously have my doubts about the validity of this, as this takes
away the checking of why it was down in the first place.
My idea is to leave the check in but remove the portion of the script
that start the database and just send an error if the database is down
(maybe not even that as this is picked up by open view already)
What is your thought on this?
Brgds
Jack
