Re: Quiescing the system prior to Save While Active?

Charles,

HA solutions are great, but most require a switch over period.  I suppose 
if you plan on doing your backups on the backup machine that might work. 
The backup will probably have to:
- stop the replication from the source to the target
- perform backup
- start the replication back up.
Our HA solution locks all objects from update on the target system.  Stops 
people from updating that machine accidentally.  It's not simultaneous two 
way updates like Lotus Domino (of course with Domino you occasionally get 
"replication or save conflicts").
And if you have a few thousand objects in your file library it may take 
several minutes (possibly longer than the save time) to perform the stop 
or the start.
