What relationship do people see between the size of Incremental Backups and the size of the Redo generated between those backups? Of course it completely depends on the system. If the system is hitting the same blocks over and over again then the redo could be high and incremental small but if the system is doing small modifications to blocks scattered through the database then I'd expect the opposite - larger incremental vs small redo. Still ... I'm interested in real world numbers if anyone has them to share. Thanks Kyle Hailey http://db-optimizer.blogspot.com/
