Hello all-

I am beginning to become more comfortable with the UNIX operating system with respect to Oracle, however I still use the client machine (Windows) often to do database work instead of using the UNIX OS.

Could anyone tell me how they, personal preference, do a cold backup nightly. Basically what I would like to see is a shell script, crontab job or whatever you have created to shut the database down at night before backup, and possibly starting it up again after backup is complete.

I would like to run the backup at 3:00 am when I am sure no one would be using the database, and then start it back up again when the backup is complete.

Oracle 7.3.2.3.0 & HP-UX B.10.20

Thank you in advance !
Mike
