Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Lost ofall redo logs
John, seeing as your e-mail name is "Ora NT DBA", you probably should have
qualified your reply with "as long as the DB is down". Backing up live
Oracle files on Windows (even NTFS) is a recipe for disaster due to locking
problems (with the OS/filesystem or the backup software, I'm not sure). We
had this problem long ago and was such a pain that we dumped Oracle7 from
Winders to Unix and haven't looked back.

I agree, there is never a problem because you backed up redo log files.
There could
be a problem with inadvertently restoring them, covering up needed
information in the
current online redo logs.
