All,
We are in the beginning stages of designing a database with Oracle Standby capability. The initial size of the database will be 600-800 Gig. The proposed database will be run on a IBM P690 with a mirrored fail-over machine. Two separate machines with separate disk. We are considering using Oracle Standby to have the database available as much as possible.
Do I need to perform regular backups of the Standby database?
Sounds like a silly question, but how do I do this? Using Rman? Or
do I shut it down and perform a cold backup? I will definitely use Rman on
the primary database. Just curious what you all would
suggest.
Thanks
in advance!
