RE: Need help from anybody using veritas netbackup on Nt

[Stephen Lee]

If the NT admins are backing up up your data files, there is a high probability that your files are getting locked by that.  You must tell the admins not to backup any file system ... er "folder" ... that contains files used by the Oracle instance.  In other words, your problem might have nothing to do with your backup stuff, but somebody else's backup stuff.   You must understand that NT is still a single-user operating system.  It doesn't understand the concept of having multiple users doing their own thing, in their own slice of turf, on the box.  If it wants to lock a file, it will do so assuming that, since it wants to use the file, nobody else needs to use it.   Which is why we moved all of our Oracle databases off NT.   NT = Neanderthal Technology   -----Original Message----- From: Arun Chakrapanirao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 7:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Need help from anybody using veritas netbackup on Nt Hi, We are facing problems during veritas net backup of oracle database on Nt, The database comes down crashing saying the log file is locked, How can we solve this probs, has anybody faced this probs and if so can you please let me know how to solve this issue.
