Abstract
The invention is a system and method for backing up a single segment and/or database on a host server. Present backups of database servers only allow full backups of the entire host server. If there are errors with any of the backed up segments or databases, this can only be corrected by re-running the entire backup process, which is very time consuming and tedious. The invention is a method for identifying and isolating single segments on the host server. In this fashion, if only one segment was not backup up correctly, then once identified and repaired, that segment may be backed up. By isolating single segments, only a segment that was not backed up correctly can be replicated. This increases the granularity of the backup system and minimizes the need to backup the entire host, saving time and cost.
