hi.

Thankx to everyone!

currently I'm recompile my amanda, with my tar script.
shutdown/startup schema good working & now I'm replace start/shop of
my Oracle DB to a switching DB in & switching out hot backup mode...

I'm reconfigure my Oracle DB, & change archive_log_dest to another
partition (may be to another server), and try backup redo logs with
starttime param in dumptype. I think, that if I backup redo logs with
estimated delay (2 or 3 hours) all must works correctly... i think...
:)


not sure what version of Oracle you use but here we use 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.4 all on Linux. To backup i simply backup the DB using RMAN and backup to a directory on the local oracle server. I then use Amanda to backup that directory and so i get control files, datafiles etc all in the RMAN backup.

This works fine as i can't stop my db's either as we are a 24x7 shop

thanks
