List,
OS RedHat 7.3
Oeacle 8.1.7 rel3
I have had a disk failure on my test box and a datafile needs to be
recovered from my tape backup. The tape contains 6 large datafiles and I
get errors after reading the first one.
Does anyone know the linux FTP option to --ignore-read-errors? The man
command does not list it. I feel that there might be a bad section of
tape and I would like to skip it until the next file header.
I am in the process of exporting the data by month from the production
server to reload into a recreated datafile if I can't get the tape to
work. I would prefer to use the tape restore because the data needed is
3 GIG and will take a long time to exp/imp.
I guess this is what you get when you use scrounged equipment to make
a test box to improve your knowledge. It also tests your backup/restore
equipment.
Thanks,
Ron
