Re: online backup help

Have a look at rman. It allows online backups of databases if they are in archivelog mode. If you don't want to put your databases in archivelog mode then rman can only backup them up when they are in mount state and inavailable to users.

Dear All,
We are in the planning/testing stage right now. I wanted to know if it is possible to backup the Oracle database online, i.e. at the time Oracle database is running. This is also called hot backup. If yes, do I have to install the backup tape device to the same server where the Oracle is installed? Or can I install tape drive to any other server and from there also can I take online/hot backup of the oracle database? Regards
Jain Anand
