Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: backup of large databases
150-gig. Cold backups weekly, archivelog. Uncomfortable with that.

Hello,
I'm curious how people handle the backups for large/very large databases; 200gb or greater.
My questions are not targeted towards any specific hardware platform, but we are using Oracle 8.1.7. I'm assuming that archiving is enabled.
Are backups done nightly, or because of time constraints are they done weekly ? If weekly, do you feel comfortable having to possibly apply a week of archives, in the case of a recovery ?
Do you use disk or tape ?
Do you use RMAN or other backup tools ?
What are the customer's expections for recovery and how do they effect your backup strategy ?
I appreciate your input.
