I'm keen to try the -jj option, but I thought I'd check here for gotchas first. I run p4 admin checkpoint every day at 3:00a. It now takes nearly two hours, which of course isn't very good for my uptime stats. I think what I want is to change the daily checkpoint to some other schedule, perhaps 1/week, and use the "Journal-only; save and truncate journal without checkpointing" option every day. This brings a few new steps to my recovery plan: Restore from checkpoint, restore from ALL journals newer than that checkpoint. Have I forgotten anything important?

Why not just copy the journal, every day? That way, your journal copies are always relative to the checkpoint...

That doesn't guarantee an atomically consistent journal, does it?
