Re: Which backup system ? newbie

Genuinely 9i??

On NT???

That's fast work -it was only released two days ago.

But if it really *is* 9i, then you really can't go past RMAN. Supplied with Oracle for free, it is now genuinely a one-line backup tool, and there's no need for a separate Catalog database as there used to be.

backup database; is all it takes.

Sounds like you want to read up on backup and recovery theory, though. I don't know what "logical locks" are (though they sound like redo logs), but Oracle isn't Informix.
