• You da man, Tom! But where does it go?

    Great idea, Tom! You seem to have become the OpenNTF server hook specialist.



    Now, my question is, where is the backup data going to be sent. I'm sure we don't want to require double disk space for backups (so yo do a live backup to local, then to tape). There must be some thing possible to do with a file shuffle – soe backuo system requests next file, kNBackup supplies it, backup processes it, delet, next. Any ideas?

      Yes it was just designed to do a straight file copy, the process of backing up would be;



      kNBackup copies NSF file (DB_2) -> backup system backs up DB_2 -> something deletes DB_2



      A better way is obviously getting the backup system to ask for a file to be copied somewhere for backing up but that would require lots of programming for different backup systems.



      does anyone have a better idea?
