Hoping Someone can Help me

 

Our company has the need to have our system available 24/7 for
processing with  downtime windows being extremely limited.  We are
exploring an upgrade into a new box for upgrade processes.   With that
in mind we are examining using MIMIX to put the data to another
partition which would allow us to backup from there and not interfere
with the normal processes.

 

However this is not a HA option. We are not  looking to have two SYSTEMS
and be able to switch back and forth,  Just the ability to save our data
from a second partition.  

 

 

What is the best way to handle backup without taking the production
system to a dedicated mode daily(we have locations in several countries
and time zones) and to still be able to keep MAPICS running
efficiently(clearing finished batches, etc.)

 

Your ideas and help is very much appreciated
