Hi,

I'm currently running cold backups of our Oracle environment. We will be
moving to hot backups soon and I've been looking at a few options:

1.      Use the Database Agent with NetbackUp
2.      The other is to run a split-mirror and break the mirror during
backup and then re-sync the mirror when the backup is finished

I've heard mixed reviews regarding the Database Agent, does anyone have any
tips or comments regarding either method???

 

Thanks
