I am working (still) on getting my backups right. Take this datafile for
instance. I put the tablespace in backup mode, then begin to copy the file
to tape. It is my understanding that backup mode 'freezes' the headers for
that data file until until the tar is finished, then catches up once it is
taken out of backup mode. Does that mean "file changed as we read it" is
just FYI. I mean it is a warm backup and it is expected to change isn't it?
Also I don't know what "Error exit delayed from previous errors" means. I
am unsure what previous errors they are refering to. As you can probably
tell, I am new, but trying like hell to get this thing working right. So
any help is appreciated.
