Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Offline Backup with Project Install
Tracy,
Well there is the technical answer and the practical answer. Technically, as long as you have the archived redo logs, and the time that any change started at, then you should be ok without doing an offline backup. Now for the practical (possibly political in some places) answer... if you are giving people warm fuzzies at low cost, then go ahead and do so. I've found that it costs more time and effort to explain why we don't have to do it, then it does to just do it and be done with it. If they are ok with the required outage, then I'd just do the offline backup to make them happy.

We are currently using Sql BackTrack to perform online backups and we
are in
archivelog mode. Sql BackTrack periodically moves the archivelogs from
disk to
tape throughout the day. Therefore, our current backup strategy allows
us to
restore back to a point-in-time. So, we have a project install for this
weekend, would there be any need to perfom a complete offline backup
prior to
the implementation. I do not believe so, but applications would like
one for
peace of mind. Opinions anyone one way or the other???? Thanks
