Don,

Can I ask for more info? Is the SA insisting on a cold backup?

What, if any, value is there in doing Unix Volume Group backups of volumes that contain Oracle databases?

This is a db that is supposed to be 7x24, but a Unix sys admin insists that we MUST do a volume backup, "because that's what we always do". Twice a month, we shutdown the "7x24" database for 3-5 hours so they can do this backup.

Thx - Don
