you don't have backups. Oracle will only support recovery from hot backups taken when the tablespaces are not flagged as in backup mode if you do the backup via RMAN.
Technically, if you are very very lucky, the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter has aligned with Mars, you *MIGHT* be able to use the hot backup taken without RMAN. If and only if there is absolutely NO activity whatsoever in the database from the time the backup starts until when it finishes. Even then, recovery is still not supported. --- Michael Kline <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I found no signs of RMAN being used in > any way shape or form... > > I've been told they are doing "hot" backups > using Veritas...
