Ashraf - I don't see where you have an export script. You are just specifying the username and password and the file to send the export, but you aren't telling export what to do, unless there is more information you haven't provided. Try running your backup.ksh script from the command line (interactively) and you will receive more error messages.

Dear List,

We are working with Oracle 8i Database under UnixWare Plateform.

My question is How to do Schedule Backup?

I tried to do Schedule backup but it does not work. I'll show u the steps that I did...

1. I wrote my batch.
2. cd /var/spool/cron/crontabs
3. crontab -e oracle it will open a text file. ----------------Oracle-------------------------
   #
   5 14 * * * /usr/oracle/backup.ksh 2>&1 1>/dev/null
   #
   

   ---

4. cd /usr/oracle
5. I did write backup.ksh like this: ----------------backup.ksh-----------------
   #
   # This Procedure for ORACLE export
   #
   exp payroll/pay file=/usr/oracle/pay111102.dmp
   #
   exit

   ---

Any clues why this is not working ...

regards,

Ashraf
