Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had ever used backup exec 9.0 to back up an active SQL DB with advanced open file option. I was wanting to do this, but you are supposed to have enough HD space on the same volume you are to back up from. I read that you can change the static volume settings to redirect the image to an alternate location. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have an active SQL DB that stays up and busy 24 hours a day, but slows a bit during early morning hours. I was wanting to do the AOF with the static volume redirected, but was wondering about how long it would suspend the DB to send the image to an external USB HD on the network. Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
