Well... On IDS 11 you can backup to directories... After backing up you can
copy the files to another server... Can't get cheaper than this...
Every time a logical log fills up you get an ALARM event. You can setup your
ALARMPROGRAM to do something... like ontape... followed by copy to another
server...
If you just want to put the logical logs in another server it's pretty
flexible.... But this will work for logs already filled... Not for the
current log...
