Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Backup Strategy - Informal Survey
An export with data will probably cause more headaches than it solves in
large DBs.
A logical export without data will also have limited use. It is quick to do and small but I suggest may be invaluable for various tasks.

Robert,
I don't do exports of our large production systems mainly due to the
fact
that I'd have to export them to tape and getting that much quite time, so as
not
to bump in to an ORA-01555 or have someone else hit a rollback segment
issue, is
impossible. Consequently two hot backups a week are the norm around here &
we
guard out archived redo logs very well.
Now I do take exports of selected tables before they get modified or
mass
changed so that we have a point in time to go back to if all hell breaks
loose.

I'd like to pose a question to you all and get your response. If you are running a database that is larger than 250GB, what place in your backup strategy does a logical export have? Do you do logical exports at all, and if so with what frequency? Do you feel that logical exports are an important part of your backup/recovery strategy?
