Checkpointing strategies in database systems and their performance evaluation
RAJ SEKHAR PAMULA, Pradip K. Srimani · International Journal of Systems Science · 1988
A transaction-oriented database system is investigated, where checkpointing is carried out after a certain number of transactions are processed. The design objective is to maximize the system availability given the failure rate, checkpointing time, error recovery time, and other system parameters. Several checkpointing strategies have been proposed and analysed. The effect of error latency is also considered.
