The customer I work for wants to take a weekly snapshot of the disks where a production database lives, I proposed to find a suitable downtime window (ie, Sunday nights), and arrange a Control-M automation to stop the database, take the snapshot (SVC Flashcopy in this case) and bring the database back up, but they want to do it with no downtime… is that feasible?

Thanks.
