Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: backup/recovery of very dynamic DB
If you are running 7.3 you can try to use "Standby Database" feature.
See Oracle7 Administrator's Guide, Chapter24. Recovering a Database,
Preparing for Disaster Recovery. You should use
DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT
initialization parameter.
Best regards
