Oracle 10g Hot Backup using IBM Snapshot

edited Jan 29, 2009 3:18AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 5 comments
 Hello,

We are wanting to implement hot backups for a few of our databases and instead of using RMAN or manually copying files for backup, we will be using a "snapshot" method (IBM AIX).

My question is, has anyone done this before and what steps did you follow?

I am thinking I need to do the following steps, but I have a concern over getting the final controlfile backup after the snapshot.  I would like to have that be part of the snapshot.

Any thoughts are appreciated

1) Alter database to begin backup mode

2) SNAPSHOT

3) Alter database to end backup mode

Howdy, Stranger!
