Re: V7 online backups
How about EBU? It is actually fairly good in 7.3.4+ and is very straightforward to set up. Like RMAN, It uses a database catalog, but the command syntax is radically different - in my opinion, much more straightforward. It also include a shell command line utility named ebutool that is quite useful. I used it for years on many systems without significant problems. What hardware (e.g. DLT IV, etc.) and software (e.g. Veritas NetBackup) resources do you already have? Will the entire backup fit on one tape? If so, I have a set of ksh & SQL scripts that do extensive error checking and get the file list dynamically from v$datafile - so no "new" datafiles are overlooked. They also do archive log cleanup, can verify the backup by reading it off of the tape, and some other stuff. These scripts may or may not be appropriate for your case.

RE: V7 online backups
Charlie, You must first put your database in ArchiveLog mode, of course. The basic init.ora parameters to set and the command "Alter Database ArchiveLog" (while mounted, but not open, after a clean shutdown) haven't really changed from 7 to 8 to 8i, except now you can specify archive log duplexing. A simple SQL script might get you started. For each Tablespace: Alter Tablespace Begin Backup ; Host cp /ts1_datafile_1.dbf Host cp /ts1_datafile_2.dbf ... Alter Tablespace End Backup ; ... Save the datafile copies and your archived redo logs, as well as backup control files, and you've got it covered. Oh, and don't back up your online redo logs - they'll be worthless for a recovery and can cause you grief if you restore them over your current, good, ones. Jack Jack C.

Re: V7 online backups
Charlie, check out alter tablespace begin backup. thats has not changed since version 7, so even the 9i docs will cover it and with 9i docs, there is a whole section on user managed backups. joe Charlie Mengler wrote: > I'm not sure if I'm bragging or complaining, but I've never setup > or supported online backups for Oracle.
