We do quarterly cold backup just in case "they" say "we need to see last
year's data"

Subject: backup best practices



Should off-line backups (RMAN or otherwise) be a part of a standard
backup strategy? In the "old" days, cold backups were recommended for
consistency - or at least that's how I understood it. Now, it seems that
these are not deemed essential. What is the recommended best practice
for off-line/on-line backups?

 

Related to this:  Should the DB be "bounced" occasionally?  In my last
oracle class, this was implied, although not stated.  Any thoughts

 

Thanks

 

Susan White
