Re: Oracle DB Backup procedure

        It only took Rama Velpuri and Anand Adkoli 628 pages to answer your question in
Oracle 8 Backup and Recovery Handbook (Oracle Press Edition from Osborne McGraw Hill)

        Basically you have three alternatives; a logical backup using the Oracle export
utility program, a cold backup, that is an operating system backup after the database
has been shutdown normally, and a hot backup, which is an online backup using a
combination of Oracle commands to take tablespaces in and out of backup mode and
operating system file copy utilities to do the backups of each tablespace in turn.

        To fully understand backup and recovery you really should get the book.
