Block change tracking and Dataguard
Hi,
My customer has a 12.1.0.2 production database which he has configured as RAC-one-node for resilience. He also has a physical standby, using the dataguard broker, maintained in maximum availability protection mode. He backs his production database up regularly - he has a full image copy in the FRA and he takes Level 1 incrementals each night (using a block change tracking (BCT) file to reduce the time this takes). Each night he rolls the incremental from 2 days ago into the image copy, thus keeping his image copy 2 days behind his production database. He does not back up
