Hello all,
Does anybody have any general recommendations for a decent backup strategy. I've got three mission critical servers each running a seperate application with a seperate instance of 8i STD ed. At least one is probably 24x7 availability. The first question really is: should I be using RMAN or a standard mixture of cold and hot backups? Secondly, is there any way of backing up (either archive logs or tablespaces), directly to tape without using something like a media management layer?
Many thanks
