RE: not including temp neither undo tablespace in full backup

Hmm...a normal shutdown? How long is that going to take? (Has anyone ever really used normal shutdown for anything useful?? ;-))

On any moderately busy database, you could be waiting indefinitely for a normal shutdown. (All it takes is one user to go home and not log out.) you may be better off with a "shutdown transactional".

But, why bother? Just follow the standard best practices, and don't worry so much about your backups. Always backup all datafiles, but never tempfiles or on-line redo, and use the 'alter database backup controlfile ...' command to make a backup copy of your controlfile.

Thanks a lot Riyaj,
I had tested the situation you saidme in the past, but any way letme test again.
Maybe I'll have to ask a normal shutdown.
