Question Savevg when users online !!
Hi All,

I need to take the backup of non-rootvg using savevg utility. I would like to know, if I can take the backup without shutting down the application & database. Is it possible to take the savevg backup safely when users are working on the system ?

Regards.

No it isn't. Either use an online backup tool for your application (database?) or shutdown everything and backup it then. There is other things like snapshots/splitting and other techniques you can use to create backups. It also depends in which granularity it has to be done in terms of restores etc. Combinations are also possible of course.
