Re: Choosing backup strategy on NT

Sorry, Miguel, I forgot to mention that Oracle Failsafe is already a part of the setup.

To all of you - thanks for your answers, so far. New questions to come :)

The meeting with Oracle cleared up a lot of questions - it seems like the hot backup on Oracle8 is far easier to administer and more reliable than it was in O7. I think we will go for that.

We will not combine the two needs (backup and transfer of data to the 2nd server) - but solve the transfer needs through read-only snapshots.

Does anyone out there have practical experiences with using read-only snapshots on Oracle8 for NT?
