We are new the the Oracle world. We want our ebusiness server to be 7x24. Never, ever down. Meaning... no cold backups. So, our question is this: If we use hot backups, (RMAN), and never take a cold backup, will we be able to recover from any failure. Additionally, what is the impact, or difference in recovery time for a system with no cold backups, vs. one with a cold backup done once a week, or once a month?The DB is 75GB and will grow to about 100GB over the next year. It will be updated in batches from our mainframe. Users will not update it. Thanks for your help. Received on Thu Mar 21 2002 - 13:41:23 CST
