Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Hot backup
Salim
Are you planning to manually perform your hot backups or use a third party =
vendor software?? If third party, What package? What version of Novell are =
you on?
information notes;=20
ALWAYS have a cold backup periodically (good fallback point).=20
You must be in the archivelog mode.
do NOT blindly trust third party backup vendors. Establish your backup and =
restore on a non-production server.
Read the install manual and notes more than once.
Get third party support if you can't get it to work to your satisfaction.
The reason I make these statements is we are on Oracle 7.3.4.0.1, Novell = 4.11 sp8 ,and Teritas Backup exec with the Oracle agent that is suppose to = backup according to the Oracle recommendations BUT the network people = can't get the Oracle agent working and opted for an "open file" third = party package that swears it will backup Oracle open files..Yea Right... I take a cold backup each weekend (thankfully I do ) because we crashed = 07/01/2000 while I was on vacation and it cost $4000+ for a consultant to = tell them to follow the normal restore procedures and use the cold backup = as a starting point.One instance is archiving and the other isn't and = doesn't need to be. It is loaded once a day and selects the remainder of = the day.
Work with your network people and make sure the backup is complete and = practice the restore procedure.=20
Hope this helps,
