MIRRORED DEVSPACES

Can mirrored devspaces be used for backup?

ADABAS mirrored devspace operation protects against hardware failures by keeping a copy of every data area. In the event of a disk error, operation can continue, since ADABAS will disregard the defective storage area.

Mirrored devspace operation is an ADABAS feature and independent of the specific operating system in use.

In addition to the mirrored database and log provided by ADABAS, many hardware manufacturers offer either mirror disks on the hardware level or the possibility of connecting RAID periphery. This allows the user to make a choice based on availability requirements.
