Hi, Your question is quite general, what kind of backup Cold or Hot.
Simple solution you do export then tar to tape (or copy to somewhere elese you want) or "shutdown your database" do tar to tape (or copy out all your database files + control files + redo log + archive redo log + your executable files like sql+, svrmgrl, exp, imp), yes your database must be down it you do this. Hope this can help Sinardy -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, 29 November 2001 12:08 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L hi gurus, I found this unix script ... can any tell me what this means? sqlplus - sys/msd > filename.dat <<! does anyone have a unix script to perform a database backups?
