Re: Backup process for Oracle8 database on NT Server

[Quoted] You need to buy an extra Oracle Agent for Arcserve, that will take care of this.
AFAIK Arcserve doesn't have a command line interface, which is exactly what you need in your proposal.
If you include start and stop .cmd files in your Arcserve config, it will do a cold backup, otherwise it will do a hot backup automatically.
