Thanks Abdul but the nature of my application is not a DWH but an ODS – 
operational data store. There are more writes with a 6 month retention. 
 
Incremental merges to a copy of backup is a 11g feature right?
 
Thanks,

What about focusing on setting as much of the data as you can readonly so you 
backup a much smaller subset!  We have a 60TB data warehouse and have been 
lucky enough to set most of the data readonly.   Only 15TB of the entire DB is 
read/write allowing us to not only back it up today via RMAN, but also scale 
into the future!  

 

FYI, we are also utilizing compression within the DB…

 

Thanks,

Abdul

Hi

 

what's the fastest way to backup" is because I need read response time in 
seconds on these huge tables. I do not want the RMAN backup window to run for 
most of the day thereby putting a load on the overall system performance. We do 
use block change tracking and run a differential incremental on weekdays to 
keep the sizes of the backup small.

 

You basically have 2-3 options

 

a)Do incremental merges to a copy of the backup as i mentioned earlier as i 
guess this is the path of least resistance since from your signature i can see 
you are a telecom company this link might be helpful (http://bit.ly/8SCjg) you 
might be able to convince your management easily.

 

b)EMC split mirror option if you decide to go that route

 

c)if you do not do nologging operations then use a physical standby and run 
your backups from there but in order to take full advantage like block change 
tracking file incremental merges etc you need to be on 11g.

 

reading this mail chain at thsi point of time my choice is a)

Not in choice you if things go wrong you dont restore from backup you switch to 
the copy .

 

Choice a is not absolute but you need to do some testing and see if it meets 
your specific requirements.
