Disaster Recovery Options via Replication

[Sureshy]

Hi Friends..

I have a question regarding replication of which I know hardly anthing about.

We currently have a production database on one server (A) at Site A. All users connect to this database/server only.

We are thinking of creating a second server (B), at Site B, which will be an exact clone of Server A. This server will only be switched to if a disaster was to hit Site A, Server A.

The network currently has a baud rate of 50K per second.

Does anyone know the best strategy/requirements of having a clone database at siteB, which will be an exact replica of the Live database.

Thanks in advance..

BTW, I'll be using replication manager as part of OEM version 2.1 .

Oracle 8.1.6

I think what you are looking at is Standby Database, simpler to implement

Hi Pando..

Looking deeper into it I agree with you..

Can you please list implementation plan for a stand by database ?

What Oracle tools are available to set up a stand by database?
Any articles available for a stand by database ?

Cheers
