For cold backup, oracle does not recommend backup the online redo
log. And if you restore the whole cold backup, why need the online redo log?
I am sure people doing cold backup will do shutdown normal/immediate, not
shutdown abort.So there is no need to backup the online redo log at all!
Backup the online redo log also take the risk of damage the current online
redo log when you want to do full recovery.
So, never backup the online redo log when doing cold backup.
FM : and hopefully in time you will come to the realization that not all
that Oracle recommends is good, or has passed a decent degree of sanity
checking. But I can see that the PR and hype machine still works well.
Apologies for starting this pissing contest, I have my convictions based on
true life experiences, rather than from attending a course. I suggest
reading Rama Velpuri's book on backup and recovery first. Then if you want
to simply open the database as it was at the time of cold backup, if your
online redo logs have not been restored, you will need to perform recovery.
An you cannot restore what has not been backed up. Amen ! Chapter closed !
redo log corruptions are another deal altogether.
