[mod.computers.vax] How to backup four RA81 ?

GLOOR@CSGHSG5A.BITNET.UUCP (06/18/86)

We're planning to buy a VAX-cluster with two vax'en (8500) and one HSC
with one TA81 tape drive and four RA81 fixed disk drives.

Now, we don't have any experience with backing up large data bases to
tape, since we always had removable package disk drives (RM05), which
we backed up by standalone image backup within two or three hours.

Has anybody out there to manage a similar configuration?

How does your conceptual backup scheme look like? How are your experiences?

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Peter Gloor, System Manager
