I still prefer cold backups when performing full OS backups.

to do online backups. No problem with recovery! Ruth

This doesn't sound right. Put the database in hot backup mode, backup (whether using cp to a staging point like the poster here is doing or straight to tape using dd or dump or some other utility), come out of hot backup mode. Why wouldn't you be able to recover?

If you want to be able to use any OS backup for restore/recovery that database must be closed when you do the backup. If it is not, you won't be
able to recover.

Just a thot,

Robyn,
 We used the DD method on pre 7.1 oracle with RAW devices. It worked fine except that it used a lot of tape dumping a raw device when only a
small portion was used. Using a dd command to place a copy of the data on tape should not be a problem if a restoral is needed. The dd function
is just another OS method of copying data to a tape. I don't know for sure but I think there might be some issues about transportability of the dd tape.
Other users will know about the transportability issues. Ron

>>> Robyn_at_iTeamTech.com 10/02/02 08:08PM >>> Hello,

I need some info about backups. I am working on a customer site, and have implemented both exports and hot backups. Both jobs copy to a separate mount point, and a job scripted by another individual then moves the files to tape.

Here's the problem - he's using a dd command, primarily because it provides a succinct output he can email to non-technicals. The file system is built on a 12 disk A1000 array. We've provided him with a ufsdump script, but he's doesn't want to use it. Can the system be recovered from this tape? Has anyone ever relied on a dd for a daily backup method? The system is Oracle 9i on Solaris 8.
