You can just write a shell script that runs the bpduplicate. Not sure why anyone would think this would require an Oracle backup. Another option with that short a window is to simply do in line backup copy where you actually write the backup twice as it is running. We do that with our

Okay, thanks! But, that skipped a question: have you opened a case with Symantec about the tuning question? It's a legitimate feature request to have different data buffer sizes for different media types, especially since no small number of people will be living in a mixed 9940/Ultrium

If all you are trying to accomplish is to stop using multiple volume pools, then do just that and don't worry about moving them. Once they all expire (hopefully it's soon) then you can whack that vol pool. Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage Engineer ▪ SunGard Availability Services ▪
