Back Up Linked Regions

Each region contains a copy of the database of each linked region. Updates to any database are immediately propagated to the databases of each linked region.

If backups to tape are required, and linked regions cannot be shut down, we recommend that you back up linked regions as described here.

To back up linked regions

  1. Create a duplicate region, and link it to the production region.
  2. Stop the duplicate region, and perform the backup to tape.

Note: Any database updates that occur while the duplicate region is stopped are held by the staging file. The updates are sent to the duplicate region when it is restarted.
