Hey, just to confirm what I think is obvious... For an oracle database to be backed up on NT with Legato: you need to either;
 shutdown, cold backup via legato, startup, or  online backup mode and legato's "Oracle database" extension,  [or some sort of strategy involving oracle export].

And to verify... legato's "backup an in-use file" extension used to backup oracle database datafiles that have not been shutdown... will not give a viable backup ???
A department that has not paid for my section's DBA services has just phoned up with restore problems with a database backed up in this manner!

If someone could confirm the obvious, I would be grateful.

Regards,
Mike.
