Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Why is on-line backup one tablespace a time?
As Sean said, this is not a requirement but is certainly the
recommended way as not only does it reduce redo but can also help in
the event of problems - if all the tablespaces are placed in BEGIN
BACKUP mode and the backup fails, you may be left with several
tablespaces in BACKUP mode which will cause problems when the database
is restarted.
It's more efficient and "best practice" to do them one at a time, IMHO. Andy Received on Sun Aug 26 2001 - 17:20:22 CDT
