I am preparing a rehost system to test WC11 migration on.
If I copy all of my vaults over to the rehost machine today and then on Friday when I do the LDAP and Oracle backups, I take the last vaults from each type and recopy them, should that be sufficient? I have 4 main vault structures with folders under them that are set to roll-over to a new folder when the current one reaches 50K files. In 2 of the vaults, there are less than 50K files, so only 1 subfolder is in use. In the part library vault, there are 2 folders, one RO, one RW. These are the easy ones to just copy while the Oracle backup is running. The last vault is working in folder 46, so over 2 million files out there. If I just copy the last folder over while Oracle is being backed up will that catch all of the latest changes to our design.
If my thinking is right, any new check-ins will create a new file in the latest folder and just the Oracle DB will be updated to the new pointers. Any files that become unreferenced along the way are also just marked as such in the DB until such time as they are removed.
I hope this strategy will work because it takes 3-4 hours to copy the main product folders.
