Hello there,
I have a question about backup on Oracle and would like to get a
confirmation. I understand TSM data protection provide ONLINE backup and
restore of database, i.e. database is still up and running during backup
and restore. My questions are:
1. Every time I do a backup on Oracle, I'll shutdown Oracle first. Do I
still need TSM data protection ? From what I understand, once I shutdown
Oracle, database is just a "file" to system and no process will lock these
file, so TSM should be able to backup these files safely without TSM data
protection, am I correct ?
2. I heard that Oracle 8 provide tools to perform incremental backup on
database. Do I still need TSM data protection ?
Thanks for your advice.
Regards
William
