Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Hot backup scheduling question
Greetings,
I have a general question on hot backup scheduling:
I have a couple of scripts that can be executed via sqlplus to do
hot backups and I would like to automate them to run overnight.
Now from what I read from this list, most people seem to favor
shell scripts using crontabs. I am thinking about scheduling my hot
backup scrips using dbms_jobs. I wonder if there are any caveats in
doing
so.
Thanks
David
