Do you ever take it out of read only mode, like to change something? Why back it up occasionally? Just do a cold backup once and save the tapes. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. dwilliams@lifetouch.com -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@freelists.org]On Behalf Of Gene Sais Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 9:04 AM To: oracle-l@freelists.org Subject: Archive Mode On for Read Only DB I have an 8i read only database that is used for query of images. Occassionally, I back it up using OS utilities (cp, tar, TSM, etc) while the db is open. Question: Is there any benefit to having this db in archive log mode? Since it is in read only mode, I see no benefit or am I missing something?
