Hi,

General question here about Oracle backups using RMAN with the NetWorker Oracle module.

1. Is is recommended to take a level full backup after the database has been re-started?

We're thinking that just because the database is shut down for whatever reason and later restarted that we should be able to simply continue with the same backup schedule as before. So, if the next scheduled backup calls for an incremental then that's what we run. However,
would re-starting the database in any way require you to run a full?

2. What if you recover an older version of the database? Then should you take a full backup
after the recovery?

Our current backup strategy is level 0 (full) once per week with level 1 backups (cumulative incrementals)
all other days of the week.

Hi,

you do *not* need to backup your database after a restart
(even if it was shut down with 'shutdown abort' or 'startup force').
You should always take a full backup when changing something (i.e.
adding a tablespace, a datafile, open the database with 'resetlogs').

If you recovery your database you should take a full backup afterwards.
If you did an incomplete recovery (i.e. until sequence or time) see
point 1 - you have to to an 'open resetlogs' in that case - so you need
to backup your database.
