There is a program supplied with Oracle 7 called EBU. What we are doing is to use EBU to backup the database to disk and then do an archive of the backup. It all works OK as long as you have the disk space. We also have to do this with our Oracle 9 databases as TDP for that version is not yet available.

We installed it, only to realize it won't work since there is no sign of RMAN.EXE on this machine? So, the owner of this box/package contacts the vendor. Their response was"Oracle is version 7.3.4, not 8i or 9i, which will not run with their app. .... said the person she spoke to did not seem to know what RMAN was....." So, how does one backup an Oracle app/database, using the TDP without RMAN ? I am not an Oracle person but even I know that RMAN is the utility to do database backup/restore/maintenance ! Suggestions, anyone ?
