In information technology, a backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying and archiving of computer data so it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.
In InterSystems Data Platform backup means procedures for backing up data in database files and all the related procedures which assure that no any application data is being lost during backup and recovery.
If I have a cache.dat file from a Windows 2012 (64-bit) machine and I want to mount it on a Caché instance running on RHEL, will it work? Assume the versions of Caché are the same.
A site has a Mirror set, and an Asynchronous DR. The disk drives for each of the instances are local disks and the databases are large (>2 TB)
The current backup strategy is started off as using Cache Backup and is still the case today, but the size and time it take t do the backup is obviously prohibitive.
Currently running on limited hardware, Online Backups are becoming a bottleneck for our system.
For now, we are exploring an option to backup individual databases, or groups of them, thus reducing RAM requirements per individual backup task. To do that, however, we'd need a separate Backup List for our Backup Tasks. We did not find an option to do so in web portal, so currently we are looking at inheriting from system backup tasks and Backup.General classes to generate Backup List before backing up and then performing the backup as normal.
I was understanding the cluster configuration supported by the Cache. Have couple of queries around that:
1. In Cache version 2018.2, there is a shrading concept which splits the data of a Master Data server into multiple small data server which store shraded data.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone already dealt with this issue: "System has been suspended for over X seconds, exceeding the maximum duration specified. Allowing system activity to resume. Any ongoing backup has presumably failed. Next InterSystems IRIS backup must be a full one"
our backup system "Commvault" is automatic, how do you tell it once you get this message that the next backup should be full?
We have a developed a new version of a production, all the code is new and has changed BP. This application load information for some brands and stored in database.
The customer wants to implement the changes only for some brands because he wants to check for small brands before to implement for all brands.
My proposal is create a new namespace, with the new code, and disabled all load of brands except the brand that he wants to check.
I'm wondering what is the best way to clone the namespace.
I asked previously about the DR server in the cloud but actually, I'm curious about the backup server to use as analytics server more than for recovery in DR case.
There is a recommended practice to use an async mirror as a server for BI (InterSystems Analytics, DeepSee)
The question is if I have PRIMARY in the cloud (AWS, Google, Azure, etc) "how far" should async mirror member be placed? Same cloud, same private cloud or it doesn't matter at all for analytics purposes?
We are trying to migrate all our production to new IRIS servers. To test everything is working fine, and to be able to script the process, we want to import the data into new IRIS servers using a backup file (created with ^BACKUP). But we've found that IRIS doesn't recognize Ensemble backups so we can't import it using ^DBREST :-O
Any of you know how to import in IRIS an Ensemble backup file?
A customer is using Caché online backups and needs to automatically purge the cbk files with a scheduled task.
This is a wheel has been reinvented uncountable times already and I know somebody out there has a well written, extremely robust version that has already stood the test of time.
Does anyone have a nice routine/class/task for purging old Caché backup files?
We are currently using Ensemble on AIX. We are on 2015.2.2. If I install Field Test on a windows desktop, is it possible that I can import the Cache.dat from my AIX server, so I can do some Proof of Concept development?
I am new to InsterSystems Cache - having a SQL Server background. However I am dealing with a Third Party who use InterSystems Cache to hold some of our data. To do some analysis I need to view a backup of the database. They are prepared to send me a backup.
My question is - how can I view this backup ( would this be the CACHE.dat file?).
Do I effectively need to have an installation of CACHE on my machine to be able to view this? Is it possible to view it from SQL Server?
I have a client who' recently acquired a business that was running software that uses InterSystems IRIS as the database back end. In the process of preparing to have my company's software installed the client formatted the hard drive of his server, wiping out his data. I can't convert the data to MS SQL without a functioning database. He had a backup on an external drive, which I have copied down to my local machine. I loaded up a virtual machine with Windows 10 Pro, I installed Docker and IRIS. I started searching for explicit instructions for restoring the .CBK file, but I'm not hav
I have been trying to do a backup from tape using the D ^DBREST command. I am not able to connect to the tape drive, that recently got replaced. It is configured and I can see it with IBM's ITDT. I did a test and it came back with the error below:
Are there any suggestions on how to fix this or what commands to use to get this opened and connected? I do appreciate it.
We know there are numerous ways to backup cache/ensemble with VMware, but we are not in a state to do that and can't do shadowing because the lack of resources. Anyways how can i backup cache to a drive mounted as network share.
I am looking for experience of people running Veeam with Caché databases.
Tips/Tricks/General questions like; what Veeam features are you using, what your backup cycle looks like, where does your data end up, what recovery/integrity checks you do, what sort of compression/dedupe you get.
Also what questions _you_ have and what problems you might be trying to solve.
For I=1:1:200 Set ^ABC(I)="" For I=1:1:200 Set ^XYZ(I)="" For I=1:1:100 Kill ^ABC(I)
2. create ZJRNFILT
ZJRNFILT(jid,dir,glo,type,restmode,addr,time) /*Filter*/ Set restmode=1 /*Return 1 for restore*/ If glo["^ABC",type="K" Set restmode=0 /*except if a kill on ^ABC*/ Quit ;
We are retiring a hosted application for an electronic health care records (EHR) system which stored the data on Cache for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2017.2.2 (Build 867_4_20245) Thu Oct 8 2020 16:58:40 EDT. The hosting company is providing me with a single CBK file. I need to install a database system to restore the database and provide occasional SQL access for reports when necessary. I'll need to maintain access to the data for an approximately 10 year retention period. Not sure how to approach restoring this old of a database and eventually upgrading it to a newer re
