bad news :((
my Oracle developers & users don't allow me stop Oracle DB :(.
now, I make hot backup of Oracle DataBase, then backup files write to
the local tape.
It seems, thet i can't stop DB, & use your nicely solution :(.
Another bad news -- this hot backup finished very closed to start of
work day -- i can't run amdump at estimated time, because i have at
least 3 servers, with big size data for backup... I think that i'm
don't have time to finish backup, before our workers start the job...
Finally, new question:
can I create different amanda configuration (example -- daily &
dailyora). At first I backup all my servers, exclude Oracle DB, fn
second -- only Oracle DB.
admump daily -- I'm run at the night,
amdump dailyora -- at the morning, with rsh from Oracle DB server,
after hot backup finished...
and the major -- both backups must white to the same tape.
(I have tape changer HP 1/8 autoloader, Ultrium LTO2 Tape).
If I descibe same amanda.conf, with same labelstr, same tapelist and
different disklist, does the amanda white data from both amdump to the
same tape at one day?
I hope, that I can explain enough my problem...
