Is the SA insisting on a cold backup? Dick Goulet ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Volume Group backup? Author: "Don Dealy II" Date: 1/26/2001 8:50 AM 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
