We haven't used the TDP here, but our DBA's have played with RMAN, and below is what they have to say.
-----Original Message----- From: Chastain, Matt /wich Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 15:58 To: Miller, Paul /wich Subject: RE: solution for Oracle DB hot baclkups RMAN is quite clunky compared to using SQL Backtrack. BMC's support is pricey to say the least, and RMAN comes w/ Oracle (Enterprise I know for sure, and probably Standard). BMC has proved to be very good when we've used it, but the version of Oracle (going from 32-bit to 64-bit) has proved to be something that you cannot restore from... I don't know what TDP is, so I can't say how it would be... Hope it helps... -----Original Message----- From: Miller, Paul /wich Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 3:46 PM To: Chastain, Matt /wich Subject: FW: solution for Oracle DB hot baclkups Any words of wisdom? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Shekhar.Dhotre@;LENDLEASEREI.COM] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 15:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: solution for Oracle DB hot baclkups All, We are evaluating different products to backup oracle database online, testing SQL-backtrack for oracle from BMC and some other products. We don't have any information on TDP as such how does it work and how complex it is to configure with RAMN. If anyone out there using TDP.. Can you please share your experience about this product and issues involved in it? About sqlbacktrac: One of the consultant told us that whenever you change oracle version or apply patch to oracle SQL-backtrack breaks and won't work until BMC releases new patch for it . Thanks SD
