I recently visited a shop where they use RMAN on a 35Tb DW. 22Tb are READ ONLY tablespaces, so their weekly level-0 is about 13Tb. Their daily level-1 and level-2 average about 2-4Tb each, couple hundred Gb of archivelogs per day. They run big-iron Solaris and Veritas Netbackup to Sun DLT tape drives (16 drives, I think). They're happy with RMAN, although that weekly level-0 is exceeding the 24hr backup window they've imposed. I suggested that the level-0's be distributed across each day of the 7-day week, to even out their spikes; don't know if they implemented it or not. Also suggested that they look into table compression, but that will be a longer term thing. At the moment, I think they opted to order 6-8 more tape drives... RMAN isn't a problem; it's a big part of the solution... on 8/19/04 4:56 PM, Sam Reddy at iamanoracledba@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hi All, > > Could you please share your experience if you have implemented RMAN backup on > a 5TB (Tera Byte) system ?
