Re: Oracle incremental backup

For our Oracle Backups we use EBU for the Oracle 7.3.X databases. This
works fine and even the recovery is very easy. For our production database
(about 60 GB) it takes us less than 2 hours. We are running ORACLE 7.3.3.6,
with ADSM 3.1.0.3. We NEVER take incremental backups but always FULL ONLINE
backups. The databases are available for the users during this backup,
they are only stopped on Sunday for a OFFLINE backup.
Perhaps something to think about.

We currently backup 60+ servers and aprox 200GB a night. The majority of
the data backed up is full backups of Oracle data bases. Most of
our Oracle data bases are v7.3.X. We also have a couple that
are V8. We have two servers with large Oracle databases(aprox 200GB
each- V7.3.5) we want to add to ADSM. When/if that happens under
our current environment we will no longer meet our backup window.
We have been discussing doing incremental backups on the Oracle data bases(do
a full backup on Sunday and then backup the logs during the week).
I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience(good & bad) doing incremental
Oracle backups. I'd also be interested in your method of doing them.
Thanks
