OpenVME - DB/Fastdump

DB/Fastdump DB/Fastdump provides the fastest backup of IDMSX databases and can also be used to backup non-IDMSX files on Fujitsu (ICL) OpenVME.

DB/Fastdump replaces Fujitsu (ICL) standard dump and restore system. It can dump at over 2Mb per second, and intelligent compression ensures minimum tape usage. A user hook for concurrent processing of database or dump is provided.


DB/Fastdump is up to 10 times faster than the standard utility, and also includes software to copy IDMSX journals to tape.

  • Much faster security dump - freeing machine time for other operating procedures

  • Vastly reduced use of dump media - saving back-up overheads and disk space

  • Enables security to be carried out frequently

  • Automatically adapts to any change in output media - any other method of dumping needs expensive and time consuming adjustment

  • 24/7 system availability as it will carry out an in-flight dump - giving maximum access to the user

Features:

  • Dumps IDMSX data, Recman files and relational databases

  • Does not copy IDMSX overheads - saving media and time

  • Optionally produces a duplex dump with no performance overheads

  • Self adjusts to any output media

  • Optionally produces a range of printed reports

  • Passes record population statistics to the DB/Sizedata database modeling utility

  • Automatically detects and reports any IDMSX page format errors

Technical:

  • Security dumps of your database, including Data Dictionaries, are taken by copying your IDMSX format database to a DB/Fastdump format serial database (dumpfile)

  • Restore all or part of your database, by copying a DB/Fastdump dumpfile back to your IDMSX database

  • Database utilisation reports are generated without the need to carry out an actual dump or actual restore

  • Perform user-defined serial processing of your database, at very high speeds, without actually carrying out a dump or restore
