Paul Mak has kindly written up his experience of implementing the use of Hot Backups for one of the IDMS sites that he supports through an outsourcing arrangement. Below you can see the Table of Contents to the complete document which is provided as an attachment. The document is rich in detail - including job streams, schedules, and clists which may be of value to other IDMS sites. Thank you for this Paul - I'm sure many DBA's will enjoy reading about your experience with this backup/recovery technique. GaryC
