Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Backup on Netware
Jim,
What version of the database are you using?
You are correct in your assumption that if the database is shutdown, there shouldn't be any other processes that have the database files opened (and hence, get a clean cold backup).
There was a bug in a previous release of Oracle7 that did not successfully close all database files even after a shutdown. Using monitor.nlm, you could still see file associations from the oracle72.nlm. The workaround for this was to unload the NLM's.
This defect was fixed in the Oracle7 7.3.2.3.0 release.
Hope this helps.
