Optimal Backup Policies for a Database System with Periodic Incremental Backup
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the following backup scheme for a database system: a database is updated at a nonhomogeneous Poisson process and an amount of updated files accumulates additively. To ensure the safety of data, full backup are performed at time NT=L or when the database fails, whichever occurs first, and between them, incremental backups are made at periodic times iT (i=1, 2, ..., N-1) so as to make the backup efficiently. Using the theory of cumulative processes, the expected cost is obtained, and an optimal numbers N* of incremental backup which minimizes it given T or L are analytically discussed. Finally, it is shown as an example that optimal numbers are numerically computed.

متن کاملOptimal Policies for a Database System with Two Backup Schemes
This paper considers two backup schemes for a database system: a database is updated at a nonhomogeneous Poisson process and an amount of updated files accumulates additively. To ensure the safety of data, full backups are performed at time NT or when the total updated files have exceeded a threshold level K, and between them, cumulative backups as one of incremental backups are made at periodi...
متن کاملOptimal Backward and Backup Policies in Reliability Theory
Abstract We are sometimes faced with the problem of searching for the actual failure time of a unit when it has failed until time t0. This is called a backward time problem of how much time we go back to search for the failure time from time t0, and is solved by using the reversed failure rate. This paper proposes an extended model of multiple backward trials in which we find the actual failure...
متن کاملReplacement Policies for Cumulative Damage Model with Maintenance Cost
This paper considers replacement polices for an extended cumulative damage model with minimal maintenance at each shock and minimal repair at failure: A system is replaced at time T or at shock number N , and undergoes maintenance or repair between replacements. The expected cost rate is obtained and each optimal T ∗ and N∗ to minimize the cost rate is discussed. It is shown that this model wou...
متن کاملSolution of Backup Multifacility Location Problem by Considering the Ideal Radius for each Customer
In this paper we introduce a new facility location model, called backup multifacility location problem by considering the ideal radius for each customer. In this problem the location of clients are given in the plane. A radius is assigned to each client. We should find the location of new facilities, which some of them may fail with a given probability, such that the sum of weighted distances f...
