Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: URGENT: Trying to duplicate database from cold backup - auxi
Yep, if I can just move the datafiles over gigabit link, thats what I will
do.
Otherwise I just do a restore and rename...

I for one, don't use RMAN for that. It's too much work.
There's a separate project for verifying backups.
The databases I'm called on to duplicate have lately been 400-500 gigs, more than I want to pull from tape unless absolutely necesssary.
It's much faster to plug two servers into a gigabit switch and copy the files across a private network at approx 100 gigabytes per hour.

cold backup - auxi
Robert - What I've done over the years is tie the creation of test
databases
to backup verification. The old issue of how can you trust your backups
unless you've done a recovery. It has seemed that I get a request to
build
a
test database at about the right interval to periodically verify the
backup.
It is nice to say that I would just periodically verify the backups, but
like most DBAs, there is always a more pressing task.
With RMAN, I assumed that I would continue this practice. It has been
a
pain, but I ended up with a method that works. The biggest problem is
that
when the test database is recovered, it initially has the same name as
the
production database, then I change the name.
I would be interested how other sites that rely on RMAN handle this
issue.
