Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Strategy question for 24X7, how to do cold backups?
All web clients want a 24X7 solution. Immediately, hot backups
are needed. But, then, for a true 24X7, one must keep a copy of
all of the redo logs from day one and a recovery would take quite
awhile (Maybe I'm wrong here and the question is moot). On
google, I am reading that one strategy is to configure a standby
database where the current database's redo logs are applied
against the standby. Then, if done correctly, a cold backup is
never needed? Even if it is, the standby can be used to produce
the cold backup?
Am I on the correct path to the #1 solution for this and are there other options as well for actually achieving 24X7?
Thanks.
