Configuring Hot Backup

There are four steps to configuring a Hot Backup implementation:

  1. Database configuration
    The database accounts and files to be backed up with a Hot Backup configuration must be specified.
  2. Hot Backup Master Server configuration
    In order to run Hot Backup, the master server must be defined. The hot-backup utility is used for this purpose and can be run from the dm or another account.
  3. Hot Backup Slave Server configuration
    The slave server must be defined. The hot-backup utility is used for this purpose and can be run from the dm or another account.
  4. Synchronizing the servers
    Before running Hot Backup, you must synchronize the master and slave servers.
