Yes that is true, about the willy nilly. There is v2 of the shameless plug presentation : http://media.progress.com/exchange/2014/slides/track2_openedge-in-virtualized-environment.pdf /shameless plug - actually I did a demo at the Exchange with VEEAM and the backup and proquiet and the scripts. The ‘freeze’ is in seconds. As Paul said – you have few options: 1) Use VEEAM w/ proquiet and the scripts – if you will be snapshotting the VM where the database is regardless, you have to use the pre/post freeze scripts 2) Have another disk on the VM, set its type to independent (it’s by default excluded from snapshots), have a database there and use probkup online to backup it up. If you are going virtual, and will be using VEEAM as your backup solution for all your virtual infrastructure, step 1) might make more sense as it will be consistent across your environment. With step 2) you have to remember, then when your VI Admin for whatever reason restores your VM, you would need to restore the database as well after.

RE: Veeam: yes or no? Reply by James Palmer Thanks Paul. I've read on page 19 of www.progress.com/.../Track%205%20-%20Getting%20the%20Most%20Out%20of%20Virtualization%20of%20Your%20Progress%20OpenEdge%20Environment_v1.pdf that taking the snaps willy nilly can cause db down. Is that a concern with Veeam? Stop receiving emails on this subject. Flag this post as spam/abuse.
