Using OE 11.6.2. Thinking of the best backup policy for a development database that evolves pretty little, with remote developers that have to regularly replace their local dev DB with a common reference dev DB. (Yes, the point is really to throw their local dB away and replace it with the common reference one). The idea is to minimize the number of times people have to copy a large backup file (even when zipped) Using incremental backups is a good way to keep a same large reference full backup then apply a small set of incremental backups files. Still I would like to avoid dealing with a set of incremental backup files and I was wondering if it was possible to work with one single incremental file that would contain ALL the updates since the last full backup. Note I am not interested in AI and rfutil for that. I just discovered the -io option of the probkup statement. If I use it with a large value, then I should be able to deal with one single incremental backup to keep a local DB in synch with all the updates of our common DB since a last full backup snapshot. Hence the question: is there a limit for the -io option? Could I use something like 365 or thousands? Would I be the first one dealing with this concern? I did not manage to find anything about this so far. Many thanks in advance /S
