Author Double log mirror on a database ??

Hi,

I'm using ASA 8.0.2

I want to know if it's possible to do a double log mirror on a database.

In another words, can I have two log Mirror on :

C:\My Documents\MyDatabase
.mlg
and
D:\Test\MyDatabase.mlg

Thank you,

Bassem Mawassi

I do not believe so. But let me ask...why would you want to?

The transaction log mirror (.mlg) is a direct copy of the transaction
log (.log). Why do you want 3 copies of the transaction log? Typically
you have the .log on one drive and the .mlg on a separate drive (and in
the best case scenario, the .db file on a third drive). Note that these
are separate *drives*, not separate partitions of the same drive.

You can create another copy using the "live backup" facility (dbbackup
-l). You would typically do this from a separate machine.

Hope this helps,
