We have a physical standby database which is in read only mode and we recover it in night. Can I take the hot backup from standby database using OS scripts (i.e. copying datafiles etc.)? What will be the steps?

Hi lokesh,

Yes.you can perform the hotbackup on physical standby database.
But it will always better to take the control file and spfile from primary database.

rem Filename: hotbackup.sql
rem Purpose: Hot backup of Oracle database
rem Created: 9/14/1999
rem Modified: 04/02/2002 move backup directory
rem
rem It assumes :
rem - An underlying UNIX system
rem - The use of the 'cp' command to backup the files to a special
rem backup directory the name of which is prompted for in the
rem script
rem
rem Because of the high importance of backup procedures, due care is
rem given to the handling of errors. Any SQL or operating system error
rem will cause the script to exit and return a non-0 value to the
rem operating system.
rem
rem IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN SUCH A CASE TO RUN THE ASSOCIATED
rem hotbackup_cancel.sql AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO CANCEL THE
rem POSSIBLE 'BACKUP' STATE OF A TABLESPACE.
