Hi,

I am taking the HOT BACKUP of the database.
I have a script through which i am copying data files, control files and archive files.

Is it necessary to copy redofiles also,
If so, can we directly copy the redofiles by keeping the tablespaces in BACKUP mode.
Is there any other way to copy redofiles.

Please let me know.

It is useless to copy redo log files.

Thanks for the Quick response,

As per my understanding, the reason is as follows,

I have been making sure that the current redo file is also archived during backup, through the following

ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL;


so that all the changes are reflected in ARCHIVE. Please correct me if i am wrong..

Thank you.

Yes it is safer to do this after saving the files and before saving the archive logs to have a complete backup.
