Now, is this a SCSI tape drive or old FDD interface? Is it auto-rewinding? Does the drive compress on the fly or require the software to do the work for it? > what about databases like oracle ? Yes, Oracle is a database. It stores it's files on the filesystem. If you backup the filesystem you will backup the database as a portion of that. It would be a good idea to bring the system down into single user mode first to ensure all the files are consistent. > it is not fair to ask about oracle but it is also running on my > server ? > what is the command for oracle database backup inside linux ? > [in to a tape /CDROM ] I'm not even gonna go there. Is this a legitimate Oracle install with valid licenses? Does it come with a manual or a technical support contract? I note going back a little into my archives you also asked a question previously about SAP? Now Oracle and SAP are both rather large and well supported Application Suites / Companies. Perhaps you might ask them how to properly support their software. Personally I'd be bloody afraid of letting someone who asks questions such as these on a Linux User Group mailing list anywhere within 100 feet of an enterprise application. I do certainly hope that you have a very simple Oracle and SAP installation on your home PC for educational purposes and that you are not actually supporting this stuff in the field.
