I just have a few questions about Hot backups. Ok Here goes.
1. How does a DBA backup or deal with Online redologs in a Hot backup scheme.
2. Do I need to ever incorporate a Cold backup during the weekend and Hot backups during the week. Deleteing arch logs after each successfull cold backup.
3. If I have a complete Hot backup of the database, can I restore that HOT backup to a different machine using "backup controlfile to trace" procedure. If not then how do I do so.
4. Here is my tentative plan for backups
Monday: Hot backup of DDrive TS
Tuesday: Hot backup of EDrive TS
Wednesday: Hot backup of FDrive TS
Thursday: Hot backup of GDrive TS
Friday: Hot backup of HDrive TS
Saturday: Logical export of database during the day
Sunday: Full Cold backup
thanks
