Re: Command line backup

Hi Zorglub,

to copy the files in "oradata/mydatabase" might not be enough. For example you might miss the control files.
Check http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server. 817/a76993/toc.htm for further
reading (you have to be registered to technet - it is not a big deal, just answer some questions).
