hi.
Thankx to everyone!
currently I'm recompile my amanda, with my tar script. shutdown/startup schema good working & now I'm replace start/shop of my Oracle DB to a switching DB in & switching out hot backup mode...
I'm reconfigure my Oracle DB, & change archive_log_dest to another partition (may be to another server), and try backup redo logs with starttime param in dumptype. I think, that if I backup redo logs with estimated delay (2 or 3 hours) all must works correctly... i think... :)
not sure what version of Oracle you use but here we use 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.4 all on Linux. To backup i simply backup the DB using RMAN and backup to a directory on the local oracle server. I then use Amanda to backup that directory and so i get control files, datafiles etc all in the RMAN backup.
This works fine as i can't stop my db's either as we are a 24x7 shop
thanks
