Hi,

We've recently opened our multi-platform Oracle online backup script as an open source (GPL) project.

Description: Multi-platform, storage independent, safe and flexible online physical backup script (aka: hot-backup) for Oracle databases (any version).

Features:
- Database checks before backup (online, archive_mode);

Dynamical backup of instance datafiles, archives and configuration files;
Extensive error detection over all steps involved in the process (Eg.: do not leave tablespaces in backup mode even when interrupted);
Clean and easy to read log with timestamps for each step;
Detailed error messages for troubleshooting;
Storage independent (File-System, TAR/GZ, Tivoli, NetBackup);
Multi-plataform (Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Windows+Cygwin).

You could check it at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ora-hot-bkp/

Feedbacks are welcome. Please let us know how to improve this script to make it even better.

Best wishes,
