Hi
Please could someone confirm something for me.
Progress - 10.01c on a Unix platform.
The back-ups that are being performed are the overnight OS backups, the PROBKUP utility is not being used. I have found that once a week a full back-up is performed and for the rest of the week an incremental back-up. However from the Database Admin Course book it says that one of the drawbacks of using an OS backup is that you "Can't do Incremental back-ups". I questioned this with the back-up team here and they have asssured me that any file that is changed overnight is being backed up.
However I am now unsure which is right, I am more inclined to believe the Progress information and am urging them to do a full back-up every night, especially as it only takes 2 hours. Can anyone confirm or not if incremental back-ups using an OS back-up work or not, so if needed I can use this weight to urge the change to be applied as soon as possible.
Thanks
Anne-Marie
