Not necessarily, shutdown mode (when you stop services) depends on registry setting:   ORA_<SID>_SHUTDOWNTYPE   I - for immediate a - for abort   Igor Neyman, OCP DBA [EMAIL PROTECTED]       ----- Original Message ----- From: Yechiel Adar To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 11:08 AM Subject: Re: services on windows????? If you stop the service you perform shutdown abort which is not recommended for cold backup.   Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- From: Igor Neyman To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 4:19 PM Subject: Re: services on windows????? Joe,   You can stop the services, which should shutdown the database (for cold backup).   But, that's not the only option. You can leave services running, and just shutdown the database (using svrmgrl, or sqlplus), and then do the cold backup.   Igor Neyman, OCP DBA [EMAIL PROTECTED]       ----- Original Message ----- From: JOE TESTA To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 9:28 AM Subject: services on windows????? My partner sent me a question about services on windows.   when doing a cold backup is it necessary to shutdown the windows services?, I have no idea as I've not had the nightmare of dealing with oracle on windoze.   joe
