Hi all !
[Quoted] [Quoted] please forgive my french accent...I hope you'll understand me ;-)
[Quoted] a few weeks ago, I have had to make a software in order to do a backup of
Oracle DataBase...
[Quoted] First I began with cold backup which worked very well...I stopped my Oracle
DataBase then
[Quoted] [Quoted] did a backup of all the necessaries files...the restoration of such a backup
[Quoted] [Quoted] [Quoted] worked well too...
But I read that cold backups were not very very good...because of the need
[Quoted] to shutdown the database...
So, the hot backup was the solution...my customers could work while I was
[Quoted] making my hot backup...
I tried to do hot backups...but I had troubles....difficult to solve....Hot
[Quoted] [Quoted] [Quoted] backup was quite complicated to set...you
know...I had to use the command "begin backup...end backup" to copy all the
[Quoted] tablespace.... etc.
[Quoted] [Quoted] And yesterday, someone told me that I just had to copy all the files of my
[Quoted] [Quoted] database (datafiles, control files, redologs files,
[Quoted] archive files etc....) in order to do a hot backup ! Thanks to the redo
logs...
[Quoted] [Quoted] I was astonished !...but indeed, copy-paste seems to work very well !
[Quoted] I say "seems to work very well" because it seems...but I not 100% sure ...
[Quoted] I thought that copy-paste of Oracle database was not permitted....because
some backup software (like backup synchoniser for instance I think) can't do
[Quoted] copy-paste of oracle Database
What do you think about this ????
[Quoted] Do you have any suggestion ?
[Quoted] How do you do you backups ?
Thanks in advance,
Laurent
