I've been looking over the various options for backing up the ADSM system,
and I'm currently looking at three different possibilities, none of which I'm
completely satisfied with:
 
   1)  Bring it down for weekly backups
   2)  EXPORT the whole thing (including all files, active and inactive)
   3)  EXPORT just the control information
 
 
My problems with these are simple:
 
   1)  Cuts into availability
   2)  My God...it's full of tapes!
   3)  Gee, I don't have ANY of the service machine control information...
 
 
A couple of brief questions:
 
   Given that I've got the database and three mirrors, how important is it to
back up the ADSM server on a regular basis?  I'd hate to lose all of it to a
lightening strike!
 
   Have I missed some obvious backup option?
 
   How do y'all back up your ADSM system?
