I think he is talking about the Oracle control files, which are optionally backed up. RMAN is a big improvement for backups compared to what was previously required in Oracle, but amazingly not everyone uses it.

DB2 just has one command, the backup command. All of the control files needed to restore a database are included. If doing an online backup, you can also include the log files that were active during the online backup in the backup image. Received on Sun Jul 31 2005 - 14:06:13 CDT
