I am trying to backup a database which datafiles are on raw device. It
is a 8.1.7 database on Redhat 6.2. The following command supposed to
be used:



dd if=/dev/... of=/opt/... bs=<block size> skip=<header block>



Question: how many header blocks I need to specify here e.g. bs=512,
skip=???



Any help info will be appreciated.



Thanks,


Yu
