Hello,

I am looking for a set of script used to backup a database of 4 Go.
I noticed that the former DBA had opted for the following scenario :

- Cold backup (the database is in Archive log mode).
- 5 copies of backup are kept.
- A full export is done every 4 days to check if the database is valid (corruption problems...). The export is done with the option COMPRESS=NO.

I would like to know if we can use DBV to check if the db is valid insted of using full export. I would like to know if it is nesessary to put COMPRESS=NO...
Finally, what is the best method ( the advantages & the disadantages) used to check the DB validity (full export, DB verify, others...).

I am waiting for your replies...

Thanks...

Sofiane
