<div><p>Reducing your save-outage time is the easiest way to use the save-while-active
function. When you use this option, the restore procedure is the same as when
you perform a standard save. In addition, you can use the save-while-active
function to reduce your save-outage time without using journaling or commitment
control. Unless you have no tolerance for a save-outage time, you should use
the save-while-active function to reduce your save outage. </p>

<div class="nested1" xml:lang="en-us" id="eliminatingyoursave-outagetime"><a name="eliminatingyoursave-outagetime"><!-- --></a><h2 class="topictitle2">Eliminating your save-outage time</h2>
<div><p>You can use the save-while-active function to eliminate your save outage.
Use this option only if you have no tolerance for a save-outage time. You
should use the save-while-active function to eliminate your save-outage time
only for objects that you protect with journaling or commitment control. In
addition you will have considerably more complex recovery procedures. You
should consider these more complex recovery procedures in your disaster recovery
plan. .</p>

<div><p>This topic may help you decide how the save-while-active function
fits into your backup and recovery plan. Review your applications. Other procedures
that you use in your backup and recovery strategy still apply. You should
still consider them when you review your backup and recovery procedures. You
may conclude one of the following:</p>
<ul><li>Your current save strategy is adequate for your scheduled save-outage
time.</li>
<li>Critical application libraries are candidates for save-while-active processing.</li>
<li>Your critical application libraries are candidates, but may require modification
to minimize recovery procedures.</li>
<li>Critical documents or folders are candidates.</li>
<li>All application libraries are candidates because of a compressed save-outage
time.</li>
<li>You will use save-while-active to reduce your save-outage time because
you can tolerate a small save outage time.</li>
<li>You will use save-while-active to eliminate your save-outage time for
the following reasons: <ul><li>You have no tolerance for a save-outage time.</li>
<li>You are already using journaling and commitment control.</li>
<li>You plan to use journaling and commitment control.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<p>The following pages may help you make an informed decision on how to use
the save-while-active function.</p>
