Hello there, I have a question about backup on Oracle and would like to get a confirmation. I understand TSM data protection provide ONLINE backup and restore of database, i.e. database is still up and running during backup and restore. My questions are:
1. Every time I do a backup on Oracle, I'll shutdown Oracle first. Do I still need TSM data protection ? From what I understand, once I shutdown Oracle, database is just a "file" to system and no process will lock these file, so TSM should be able to backup these files safely without TSM data protection, am I correct ? 2. I heard that Oracle 8 provide tools to perform incremental backup on database. Do I still need TSM data protection ? Thanks for your advice.
