Dear All,
Please share your experience on taking open file backup and image backup on
Linux (including system files).

I have been going through documentation and manuals, but there are so many IFs
and BUTs involved.

My scenario is to take cold backup of Oracle 9i on Linux, which is fine, but
with this I need to take entire system backup so that I can restore my server
real soon in case of disaster.

Please share practical implementations that you gurus are using !!!

Thanking you!
This list has been a source of real good knowledge to me !

Kind Regards
Sandra
