Hi All,
I am very keen to hear what the take is on BCV's and the requirement
of SOX.
I prefer to use snapshots from the advanced client, as it is quicker,
easier and faster to restore.
Regards,

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Oracle RAC
We use RMAN for a backup of a smaller (<300 GB) DB. It doesn't
require
stopping the database.
For a large (>2 TB) Oracle DB we do the BCV thing outlined below.
You
don't have to run Oracle on the media server because you do a standard
rather than an oracle backup. (E.G. do not use RMAN - just backup the
filesystems or raw devices as if they were any other.) We also use
this
backup to do refreshes of our TEST/DEV/TRAINING environments.

You can use more RMAN streams and buffers (10 streams with 256k
buffers)

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Oracle RAC
You could do something like this
Put the database in backup mode
split a BCV of
Take the database out of backup mode
Mount the BCV on media server
Run a file backup of the mounted BCV
dismount BCV
Of cause every backup will be a full backup
I assume you have looked into incremental with RMAN

Michael
