I don't see why not. Prior to RMAN I used a procedure documented in Oracle Magazine called database cloning that used hot backups and archived logs. I have a white paper on it if you're interested. I'm sure RMAN has the same capability. -- Chuck
----- Original Message ----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 5:38 AM I need to duplicate online database Oracle 8.1.7. It is not possible to shutdown the primary database. Can I do online backup this primary database by RMAN, and + using archivelogs create duplicate database? Inconsistent backups of RMAN + archivelogs = duplicate database??
