Abstract

See full text

A backup method for a computer database system comprising maintaining a mirrored copy of the database at a remote location is characterized in that updates to the remote database data are delayed for a delay time greater than or equal to the upper limit on the data communication delay between the local location and the remote location and updates to a remote log for the database are executed after corresponding updates to a local log without said delay. In this way a consistent copy of the database may be recovered from the mirrored copy of the database and the remote log after destruction of the database system.
