Protecting Against a Media Failure

It is strongly recommended that you run your Siebel Server with a redundant disk configuration. If a device fails that contains inbox and outbox folders for remote clients, then a redundant configuration can minimize data loss.

To protect against a media failure, it is strongly recommended that your database administrator take preventive measures. For example:

• Use disk mirroring

• Use online backups

• Use RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)

If restoring the Siebel database results in a permanent loss of transactions from the Siebel Server, then the Transaction Router server component might have routed some of those lost transactions to remote clients before the failure occurred. To complete a full recovery, it might be necessary for you to resynchronize the Siebel database with the local database.
