Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Minimum Files to Clone a Database
Sure it is. We've done it many times before but usually we copy all the
related database files. What I mean by snapshot is an extra mirror is added
to the disk, all the tablespaces are placed in backup mode, the mirror is
split or detached, then the tablespaces are taken out of backup mode. The
detached mirror is then mounted on an alternate system. My question is
really about the indices. Can they be rebuilt from "scratch". In other
words, to the database it will appear as though all the disks that contain
index files are missing.
