Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Rman and database shutdowns UPDATE
Ron - Yes they can back it up and recover it from their perspective. You've
brightened my day. Let us know if you want some more explanations to discuss
this with them again. ;-)

Just got out of a meeting with the systems group. The Incremental backup
was not working because the command was written wrong. There has been a
decision to do cold backups each night.
The system people swear that the OpenVms can successfully backup an
open file (datafile) and have it recovered properly. They can backup it
up with an Ignore flag that backups up open files?
I will go with a cold backup methodology.

List,
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...!
Ron
