fastest technique to copy bakups b/w two data centers
Greetings
Database version is 11gr2.
To build standby database on DR site, we have two options
1) production database backups-based duplication method
2) Active (Production Instance-based duplication) method
Options (2) would not be feasible in our case as it will definitely produce an extra amount of IO on production site, which will degrades production performance and this can't be done for database of 20TB+ size in off peak hours (8 hours maintenance window). so in my opinion we have left with option 1 only.
What technique and / or options you would like to suggest or share to persue with option (1) in fastest possible way? please consider this question in light of what oracle database level configurable options we have .
