Hello,


    I would like to know if it is safe to do unix dump command for
backing up file systems to backup a live oracle server.
It is safe if oracle server is shutdown. But if oracle server is
running in archivelog mode, is unix dump a safe method to
backup the oracle server? It will be very convenient if it is
safe since one does not need to worry about writing specific
backup scripts for the database backup. It doesn't sound like it
but I want to be sure.



Thanks for any info.



Richard
