RE: Geographic Mirroring and backup configurations.

POWERHA supports multiple targets so you could create a second partition on the either box. >Mirror to that also and then do the same thing there that you do now on the HA box to do the >backups. However this way you're not stopping replication to the HA server and thus that >server stays in sync.

Did I understand you correctly Larry?

I can mirror from the Production System (source) to "2" PowerHA mirror systems or partitions (targets) at the same time. When I want to do a point in time BU to tape, I would just detach one of the target systems or partitions and perform the BU there... While the BU to tape is running, mirroring will continue on the other Target system.


For this to work all changes to the second mirror system would have to be tracked by the source system while it is detached, even though the other mirror is still active. Is this how it would work?
