Hi Peter
Sorry for the delay and Sorry , I did not realize your 24x7
situation ;-(

This is a totally different situation !

I also do know this from my IBM mainframe times (1969-1979) ...
... everthing runs 24x7 and we had availability times better than
99%
Within 1 1/2 minutes we switched from a 370 system to another
to have (near) no gap ;-)

However, I think your 7 hours downtime needs some very special
actions to get it shortened but I assume you are a pro and know
how to deal with ;-))

Have a nice time,
svobi

Yes, using XCOPY /H/O/T/S/E/R/V

There are only five that won't copy and three aren't critical
(like
SWAPPER.DAT).

I'm 24x7. Don't want to shut down for 7 hours every day for the
backup.
