Gene - By read only, do you mean the contents of the database are never
changing? Do you ever take it out of read only mode, like to change
something? Why back it up occasionally? Just do a cold backup once and save
the tapes.

Subject: Archive Mode On for Read Only DB
I have an 8i read only database that is used for query of images.
Occassionally, I back it up using OS utilities (cp, tar, TSM, etc) while the
db is open.
Question: Is there any benefit to having this db in archive log mode? Since
it is in read only mode, I see no benefit or am I missing something?
Thanks for any insight you may provide,
Gene
