Thank you all for wonderful thoughts.

So far the plan is to do Timefinder local snapshots an may be SRDF remote snapshots if possible.

As far  as backups go the only backup could be done is backing up timefinder snapshots on tape.

Here are my thoughts, but I think you should talk to all the vendors you can as this is physically going to be difficult to achieve due to the sheer size of the DB.

If this database is critical, or even remotely important to the continuation of your business, then you should consider an online mirror, along with a remote replicated mirror.
You can stop there, but to offer additional protection against corruption, etc., you are going to have to do some sort of snap to some disk storage. You won't be able to protect the database with a traditional backup as it will blow your RPO out significantly. Once it is snapped to disk, you then need to decide if you want any other copies. You can copy the snaps and/or the online mirror to tape and keep them as long as needed to meet your business requirements and any governing regulations. Tape is going to be faster than disk backups in this case and it will be significantly cheaper.

Either way you slice it, to do it right will not be cheap and you will need to do a lot of testing, both on the backup and recovery side to ensure it fits within the business' RPO/RTO requirements. Don't forget to continue testing recoveries on a scheduled basis, especially after upgrades.

Good luck. If you can remember, I'd like to hear what your end solution is.

Hi Experts,


I have been tasked with to purpose a solution to backup 450TB of Oracle Database.


So far my suggestion has been to take Timefinder local clone and do monthly full on tape using T10000c tapes on SL3000



Please through some lights and guide a soloution? Would it be better to use datadomain ?
