We are a Digital Alpha ( Digital Unix 3.2C) shop running a medium-size Oracle database and would like to move to hot backups. Currently we stop all Oracle instances, perform a cold backup using tar and restart the instances. We would like to move to hot backups, but have felt that tar is not adequate for this purpose. Because Digital Unix is pretty new, few vendors have ported to it and the Digital tools seem pretty sparse. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has evaluated the tools like Polycenter or is currently doing hot backups, and how you are doing them.

        Thank you.
