  • Method and system for improved database disaster recovery
    Patent number: 6202071
    Abstract: A database recovery approach is disclosed that eliminates the need to establish IMS recovery points for disaster recovery or potential time stamp recovery purposes. The need to quiesce databases is thus removed, and IMS databases are able to be recovered at any time without requiring the existence of an IMS recovery point. Further, disaster recovery service restoration times are reduced by automatically performing all necessary RECON maintenance operations. Additionally, IMS disaster recovery methodologies are allowed where archived IMS log data is manually shipped off-site to continue to allow work in an IMS data sharing environment.
    Type: Grant
