Re: Backup Strategy - Informal Survey

Our db size is around 350Gig. We have stopped full logical exports since our database size has grown above 200 Gigs. It is just not feasible for us to do the full exports anymore, time it takes to export is too much.

We use EMC/EDM bcv splits to do a hot backup every night. We shutdown our database once a week for half an hour for cold bcv splits. So far it has worked very well. So we do not feel logical exports an important part of our backup/recovery strategy.
