I'd tell them, great, then lets test it. Trust no one.
Robert -----Original Message----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 2/12/2003 10:23 AM Just got out of a meeting with the systems group. The Incremental backup was not working because the command was written wrong. There has been a decision to do cold backups each night. The system people swear that the OpenVms can successfully backup an open file (datafile) and have it recovered properly. They can backup it up with an Ignore flag that backups up open files? I will go with a cold backup methodology. Ron >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/12/03 10:18AM >>> List, OS OpenVms 7.3-1 Oracle 8.1.7 rel 3 Archivelog mode. We are trying to work through backup issues here and I have a question. The system nightly backup procedures backup up the disks used by Oracle (software and data). A full backup works but an incremental does not backup any files. Inorder to get the changed files to be backed up as an incremental the sysadmin shutdown the database to flag the files as changed. Questions: How will the shutdown effect the RMAN backup if it does not know that it was shutdown for a cold backup? Are there any possible problems doing a restore from the cold backup and then using the RMAN backup/restore? I am still trying to figure out the OpenVms OS. Perserverience required...!
