Hi !

A little thing I am wondering about :

Is there an interest in using incremental backups to minimize the backup time of a database ? I have a 650 Gb DB that can be backed up in a 12 hour window the saturday, but the backup window drops at 5 hours during the week. The full backup takes 9 hours.

The Oracle documentation says that as an RMAN incremental backup needs to read all the blocks, in order to see which ones were modified, it's running time might be almost the same as a full backup.

Does someone have an experience about it ? Received on Tue Jun 25 2002 - 08:04:02 CDT
