I use amanda to back up oracle. Basically I backup the cold backups that oracle

to just back up individual tables. In my opinion, oracle wouldn't restore 
cleanly that way no matter what was backing it up. Oracle likes to restore from 
it's own backups.

I have also just set up a backup of an Oracle webserver
with amanda.

I'm using the script that comes with the book Unix Backup
& Recovery. It does the backup in one directory, then I use
amanda to send all the partitions to tape ( but the one with
the Oracle live tables).

I think that the script can be found out there. It's
oraback.sh

Hi,

I would like to use the Amanda Software in order to make backup of some oracle's tables. Is it possible? Is it good?
