Hi DBAs,

A co-worker and I disagree on impact of slightly different B&R scenarios
and I would like your thoughts.

Environment for both scenarios: Oracle 8.1.6, WinNt, Archivelog mode, not
using RMAN

Scenario 1:
       I do standard Hot Backup using
     BEGIN BACKUP
          OCOPY ...
     END BACKUP
                .....

        If database crashes I perform media recovery then recover database.

Scenario 2:
     Co-worker shuts down database and copy all files to backup directory.
     Restarts database backup
                If database crashes restore backup files then apply the
archive logs.

Co-worker says both scenarios are the same. I think scenario 1 results in
no loss where scenario 2 results in the loss
of data that was in the online redo logs.

Any thoughts on this?
Also what is the minimum system/object priviledges a user needs to perform
B&R. I would like to create a user with only those
privs necessary for B&R.

Thanks
Rick
