I am new to the world of Open Edge.
We are running a product that seems very involved as far as setup (at least fromt he perspective of someone who is new).
They have setup backups and AI but I want to cover the recovery of the entire server in case of disaster.
This is a physical server. Can you use a product like Symantec System Recovery and/or Acronis's solution to take a live image of the server that can be restored to another server? Will this cause any sort of corruption when the VSS snapshot takes place? It would run off hours to the momentary lock causes would not be an issue for users.
The vendor has concerns about the database being restored properly but I would have the backups and AI files on other servers.
So basically 2 questions -
1 - Will the backup cause issues
2 - Will a restore of this type of backup to another server leave me with a fuctional server? With the databases mount so a restore of the most current data be possible?
Thank you,
Scott
