Hi there,

I read the documents a couple of times as Sam recommanded. I have a couple of questions. Firstly I am confused about the even of the back up failure. Is that mean that I should include Not backed up since time ‘sysdate-1’ in my backup script? For example:
startup force dba;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup incremental level 0 database filesperset 4;
not backed up since ‘sysdate-1’;
alter database open;

Secondly If I am going to back up data to tape, do I have to use third party software such as Veritas? Are there any other way that I can back up data to tape directly? Any clues?


Thanks to Sam and anybody who are willing to help.
