Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: backups to disk
Re: backups to diskWe store just one day's backups, all DB's, and keep the
tapes for 2 weeks. Then we recycle the tapes. Our application wouldn't
permit us to recover back further than a few days so 2 weeks is more than
enough for us. We used to keep then for only 7 days, but one time during
out yearly upgrade to accommodate legislative changes, we encountered a
problem which almost was 'fatal' so I changed the policy to keep 14 days
worth. It takes about an hour to make the tape and a bit longer to restore
the files.
HTH,
Ruth

We do backups to disk and then put them on tape using the OS copy software. We put one days worth on a tape and recycle the tapes every 2 weeks.
It is much faster than tape!

Wanting to do our backups to disk as tape media and hware so unreliable and system admin group wants us to have them run our backups and restores which would just slow down the whole process
Any way to keep storage costs down considering one week worth of backups and using all the tricks for types of tablespaces and backups???
