Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Rman and database shutdowns
Ron
RMAN documentation uses the terms open and closed. RMAN can back up an open database. RMAN can back up a closed database (not usual, except for a non-archivelog database). You can shut the database down when RMAN is not performing a backup. RMAN can even bring the database up or down. Just don't shut the database down while RMAN is backing it up :-)
And buy Robert Freeman's book Oracle 9i RMAN Backup and Recovery.

OS OpenVms 7.3-1
Oracle 8.1.7 rel 3
Archivelog mode.
We are trying to work through backup issues here and I have a
question.
The system nightly backup procedures backup up the disks used by Oracle
(software and data). A full backup works but an incremental does not
backup any files. Inorder to get the changed files to be backed up as an
incremental the sysadmin shutdown the database to flag the files as
changed.
Questions:
How will the shutdown effect the RMAN backup if it does not know that
it was shutdown for a cold backup?
Are there any possible problems doing a restore from the cold backup
and then using the RMAN backup/restore?
I am still trying to figure out the OpenVms OS. Perserverience
required...!
