I am using home grown scripts and they work. I have Legato use savepnpc (pre/post proc) command call this script:
//begin snippet comment section #!/bin/ksh ####################################################### # $ORABIN/db_hot_backup.ksh ####################################################### # # Common script used to alter one database or all databases # on this server for hot backup mode (begin/end). # This script does NOT actually copy database files to disk # or to tape. # # Hot Backup Algorithm listed below: # 1) Alter system archive log current ; # 2) Check backup status. # 3) Generate datafile listing. # 4) Alter tablespace <tablespace_name> begin backup ; # 5) Some other process,script,legato,etc. will copy database files # to disk or to tape. # 6) Alter tablespace <tablespace_name> end backup ; # 7) Alter system archive log current ; # 8) Backup controlfile. # 9) Alter system archive log current ; # # Date Author Note # ---- ------ ---- # 04/26/02 Gene Sais Original Creation # 08/02/02 Gene Sais Copied trace file to Hot Backup Location ####################################################### # Parameter Description # --------- ----------- sid=$1 # Database sid or all begend=$2 # Begin or End Hot Backup //end snippet comment section hth, Gene PS. I have tested recoveries and they worked, but soon my scripts will succumb to RMAN :). >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/18/02 12:04PM >>> I was thinking of simply copying the datafiles using the OS facilities. If you are putting hot backups to tape directly I am not sure that they will be usable for recovery. RMAN requires a third party media manager to handle backups to tape. If rman can't do it, I am not sure that homegrown scripts can either.
