Re: Archiver Tunning ? [RE: dbms_job question ??]

You might want to look at SQLBackTrack (www.bmc.com) for your backup solution. It works with V7x, RMAN works only from V8x. Both products works in similar principles, i.e. quick backup window, block level copying, use of catalog, etc.

If you have not already done so, please take a look at Note # 45042.1 on Metalink (Archiver Best Practices). It offers some suggestions that may be of some help to you. Also, have you considered upgrading to Oracle 8.x and take advantage of RMAN for your backups? - Kirti
