QUESTION POSED ON: 21 October 2004
I am a new DBA. I have a few question regarding Backup and recovery.
I
have an Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 database running on an HP 9000 machine with Unix
version
11.11. Currently, they have an operating system backup set up, but it
has
not been tested and the Unix admin is not even sure if it is working
(they installed Oracle two months ago, and they are testing an
application
on it). I need to set up a backup and recovery procedure especially
for
when they go live with their application; this is scheduled for sometime at the end of April 2005.
I have never used RMAN before and I was wondering if it is the best
way
to backup an Oracel database. If it is, could you please help me with what
I
need to know and how I should set it up and test it. Thank you so
much for all your help.
