Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> backup of large databases
Hello,
I'm curious how people handle
the backups for
large/very large databases;
200gb or greater.
My questions are not targeted
towards any
specific hardware platform, but
we are using
Oracle 8.1.7. I'm assuming that
archiving is enabled.
Are backups done
nightly, or because of
time constraints are they done
weekly ?
If weekly, do you feel
comfortable having to possibly
apply <FONT face=Arial

Do you use disk or tape
?
Do you use RMAN or other
backup tools ?
What are
the customer's expections for recovery and
how do they effect your
backup strategy ?
I appreciate your
input.
