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. ed -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Richard Ji INET: rji@exenet.com Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
