摘要： Database performance may be improved by creating additional backups from an existing backup, rather than the original database or audit log source. A second backup may be created from a first backup by copying the files from the first backup to the second backup. The replication from a first backup to a second backup with modification of the file history information allows identical backups to exist on different types of storage devices, including virtual storage devices. Continue functionality may be implemented during a move function to restart replication at a new starting point while retaining the existing move set. Tape-type-override functionality may be implemented during the replication to replace the tape type for the backups with another compatible type while retaining the original type for history file entries, tape trailers, and messages.

摘要： Database backup performance may be improved by copying only used portions of a database file. When the database file includes allocated but un-used pages, the unused pages are not replicated during a database backup. By replicating only the allocated and used pages in the database, the backup time may be decreased and the amount of storage required in the second file may be decreased.

摘要： A method includes receiving, at a processor, an identification of a storage tape. The method further includes determining, at the processor, a start-point for extracting information from the storage tape. The method further includes extracting the information, by the processor, from the storage tape starting at the start-point. The method further includes determining, by the processor, whether an end-point of the information has been reached. The method further includes reproducing, by the processor, the information to a computer-readable medium. The method further includes formatting, by the processor, the information to conform with format requirements of an activity log analyzing tool.

摘要： A method includes receiving, at a processor, a timestamp as a start-point for extracting information from the storage tape. The method further includes determining, by the processor, a reel identification and a device type of a storage tape. The method further includes extracting the information, by the processor, from the storage tape starting at the start-point. The method further includes determining, by the processor, whether an end-point of the information has been reached. The method further includes reproducing, by the processor, the information to a computer-readable medium. The method further includes formatting, by the processor, the information to conform with format requirements of an activity log analyzing tool.

摘要： Databases may be copied to a shadow database on amass storage device. The structure of the files containing the database, such as blocking information and a dump history, may be copied in whole to the mass storage device. The method may include creating a shadow database on a mass storage device, populating the shadow database with data from a production database, idling an application accessing the production database to create an idle point in the production database, and updating the shadow database to the production database.

摘要： Files may be assigned to groups for processing in an efficient manner. For example, a group may include a list of file names for processing together. The file names are assigned to the group by a user. When a command is executed on the system for modifying a file, the group name is provided along with the command rather than the file name or list of individual file names. The command automatically executes repeatedly for each file name associated with the group name.

摘要： A backup system override may be specified to allow a backup system to access a backup created on an old storage device. For example, an archival backup may be accessed long after the storage device that created the backup has been decommissioned. The file history information in the backup may specify a storage device no longer accessible by the backup system. An override in the backup system allows the backup system to access the backup with the file history information through a different storage device than the storage device that created the backup. The different storage device may have a different name and/or be of a different type than the original storage device that created the backup. The override may also allow access to command scripts and links in the backup.

摘要： Idle points for a database, such as a database management system or a relational database management system (RDMS), may be marked in an audit log of a backup device coupled to the database. The backup device may receive an indication that the database has reached an idle point and verify the idle point through a data control system coupled to the database and the backup device. Once the idle point is verified, the idle point is logged in the audit log along with the date and time of the idle point. The idle point information may be used during recovery of the database from the backup device.

摘要翻译： 数据库的空闲点（如数据库管理系统或关系数据库管理系统（RDMS））可能会在耦合到数据库的备份设备的审核日志中进行标记。 备份设备可以接收到数据库已经到达空闲点的指示，并且通过耦合到数据库和备份设备的数据控制系统来验证空闲点。 一旦空闲点被验证，空闲点将与空闲点的日期和时间一起记录在审核日志中。 可以在从备份设备恢复数据库期间使用空闲点信息。

摘要： Audit Trail recovery is enhanced by including addresses of immediately prior periodic saves of all active or open Steps or transactions in each new period save area. Reduced cost in main memory usage and on-the-fly processing to accomplish audit trail format that enhances recovery time results from ability to immediately address next prior period save data once a last periodic save is found in reading back the audit trail. Reading back the audit trail to find the last periodic save can be avoided too by directly addressing the last periodic save in preferred embodiments since the computer system will in all events temporarily maintain a record of the address of the last periodic save to record the next time a periodic save is to be made, so this temporarily maintained record can be accessed and used to jump directly to the last periodic save address on the audit trail. Accordingly all periodic saves prior to the current one are readily discovered and the earliest open transaction or Step is thus located quickly, allowing the audit trail based recovery to initiate quickly.

摘要翻译： 通过在每个新的周期保存区域中包括所有活动或打开的步骤或交易的紧接在前的定期保存的地址来增强审计跟踪恢复。 降低主内存使用成本和实时处理以完成审计跟踪格式，从而提高恢复时间，这是由于能够立即解决下一个上一个时间段，一旦在读取审核跟踪中找到最后一次定期保存，就可以保存数据。 在优选实施例中，由于计算机系统将在所有事件中暂时保持最后定期保存的地址的记录以记录下一次的时间，所以可以通过直接寻址最后的周期性保存来回读审计跟踪以找到最后的周期性保存 要定期保存，因此可以访问这个临时维护的记录，并将其直接跳转到审计跟踪上的最后一个定期保存地址。 因此，在当前所有之前的所有定期保存都很容易被发现，并且最早的开放事务或步骤因此快速定位，从而允许基于审计线索的恢复快速启动。
