Hello all,

Could anyone provide the following details on backing up logs to disk v
tape using ONBAR with VERITAS. ?

We are currently doing log backups continously using "onbar -l -C" to a
dedicated tape unit. I would like to free up the tape resources from
constantly occupying by choosing alternative way to backup the logs. Hence i
am designing strategy for disk logging.

Questions

1) What is the best way to handle the logs first to disk and then to tape
?
2) Did anyone try to copy/move the logs from one directory to another and
succesfully automate it ?
3) If so, how did you handle the scenario where some logs that are written
to disk but not backed to tape yet ?
4) Could anyone forward any link where i can find some standard script
templates for the same ?

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
