Robert,
I don't do exports of our large production systems mainly due to the fact
that I'd have to export them to tape and getting that much quite time, so as not
to bump in to an ORA-01555 or have someone else hit a rollback segment issue, is
impossible. Consequently two hot backups a week
Robert - My info:
Oracle 8.1.7 E.E.
Largest DB is 900gb
Hot Backups 2x week
Cold Backups 1x month
Export Backups 1x week on selective schemas
I do export backups for creation of test db's, recover data validation blunders, i.e.
single object restores.
Future plans are RMAN, RMAN, RMAN on 9i.
