Hi,
I am doing cold backup(with tar-Unix)twice a week (database is in archivelog mode).I would like to have the same database (with same data)on other machine. What is the best way to to clone it, replicate it every night (the machines are connected).
Thanks

Am I right,
If I have the most important files (control file, password file, datafiles..) on tape (backup on Unix with tar option)I can only extract files on the other machine and database is cloned, changes should be daily updated with export an import option? I do not use rman!

Cloning a DB in UNIX is much easier than export/import.
Are you using 8i or 9i ? as the procedures are a little different.
For 8i here
http://www.bijoos.com/oratom/ot_199903.htm
For 9i, there is no svrmgrl, so use
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
and make sure there are no lines with '#' (pound) as Sqlplus DOES NOT like '#'.
Has worked fine for me.
If it does not work, contact me.
