Re: ECM / BCV / hot backup

[Tim Gorman]

Do backup controlfile before step #1 and make sure that it is swept up by Omniback during step #6.   There is no need for step #2.   Don't forget that step #6 also has to back up archivelogs as well as datafiles and the controlfile backup.   ---   Better yet, do use RMAN instead.  The RMAN user's guide describes exactly this scenario... ----- Original Message ----- From: Vladimir Barac To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 5:03 AM Subject: ECM / BCV / hot backup Good morning/afternoon/evening to everyone...     I'm about to "configure"  oracle backup policy using ECM storgae and HP OmniBack. My idea is as follows     1. put all tablespaces into backup mode (db is in arch. mode),   2. sleep <some_time>   3. do the split   4. take out tablespaces of backup mode,   5. alter system switch logfile,   6. let the Omni Back do it's job.   Anu do's and don't's regarding EMC/Oracle combination?
