This is less common, as more and more folks move to RMAN, but, for conventional backups, don't backup the online redo logs!

Putting it in and knowing how to backup but not knowing how to use it to recover.

Also, I would think the "backup database" command might be misleading to most DBA's. It does not do a "switch logfiles" for you at the end of your
backup. Better to use command "backup database plus archivelog [all] [delete
input]". Or just know that you must "switch logfile" at the end to flush remaining transactions out of your redo log files.

Hello List,

I would like hear from you about the common mistakes by most of the DBAs do
regarding the backup and recovery. I would think of the following:

Never testing their backups.
No good backup and recovery policies.
Afraid of using RMAN or Making benefits of RMAN

I would really like to know if there are any other points than what I specified above.
