We're syncing well over 185 GB of sleepycat BDB files. I'm not sure how 
well they relate to Oracle files.

I second that. We backup Oracle on Solaris but we insist that the
oracle is down.

 No problem--as long as you don't try to backup hot database files.
 Shutdown Oracle first:)

Re: Anyone syncing database files?

2004-08-23 Thread Eric Whiting
You can do a hot backup by simply setting all the tablespaces in backup 
mode (alter tablespace 'BLAA' begin backup).
Then you can rsync the database files and do an 'end backup' on each 
tablespace after.

This will give you files that are consistient and the database will be 
recoverable from those files. A hot backup is useless unless you do this...

With anything this huge it would be nice to do it in in place.

Is the patch for that in the released version yet?
