1. Yes you still want to make backups of your BAK database. Whether or not
you use the "savedb" command today for this purpose, you will not have the
ability to use that if you move to buta versus butc.
2. We do it with an actual ADSM backup today. We backup the fldb servers and
include the /var/dce/dfs/backup directories, which gets the bkdb files, and we
bind them to a copy group that keeps them for 186 days(i.e the versions data
exists is set to 186, and retain extra is set to NO LIMIT). This allows us to
restore a fileset for up to 6 months back.
Any other questions feel free to write me directly.
