2) A caveat of using this method: > "Important: Incremental, cumulative, and complete Exports are > obsolete features that will be phased out in a subsequent release"
I think this has already happened with 9i... I would suggest going to RMAN and taking incremental cold backups and taking weekly/daily 1. full export w/o data (to get the structure) 2. data export of non-static data using (tablespaces=(list) - a 9i feature but i think u can install 9i anduse the exp binary against the 8i db you have. i have not tried it though) monthly/whatever 1. export of static data (this can be run during the day with consistent=n to minimize downtime) Babu ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 3:44 PM > Babu, > > First, if it were me, I'd put this thing in archive log mode.
