RE: Informix Disaster Recovery Strategy

Posted By: NormaJean.Sebastian@tellabs.com
Date:


a blast from the past.... we did Informix OnArchive (ala DB2 'log
shipping' as you mentioned) to our disaster site for a few years before
we switched to onbar in production last august. We bundled 5 logs,
ftp'd to hotsite, and rolled them in with onarchive in recovery mode.
worked like a charm.

currently we're hardware loaded... we use EMC disk technology with SRDF
to our hotsite now.

Have your users given you a definition of allowable downtime, etc?

Is it possible to achieve this using the off-site archive/log tapes and
a spare server? or do they demand 'instant' changeover?

If you need a hot standby then within the Admin Guide there is info
about High-Availability Data Replication, and there is a guide to
Enterprise Replication that may be useful too.
