> What are general pros and cons on separating redo logs from database files? Both database and redologs are already residing on RAID1 > volumes. So this separation would only mean – move redo logs to separate mount point (RAID1, still). From my experience and at least in my env, I think seperation of redo and data file into different mont point is desirable. We use NetApp snapshot as backup solution. When restoring data files, we can choose not to restore redo log files if they are separated. Learned from the storage team, Snapshot restore can not proceed at data file level as RAMN does. Hope I got this impression right. Yu "Denis" Sun Oracle DBA
