Good day everyone, We are in need of preparing a backup server for one of the business critical RAC databases at our company. Since the DRC setup will take some considerable time, application owner requested to maintain a backup database server (active) for the database to be able to survive from any scary incidents. Although my vote goes to Data guard configuration, we would like to choose the best and a very light weight option to fulfill the requirement. Any pros and cons or comparision between these two would be highly appreciated. -- Best Regards, Syed Jaffar Hussain Oracle Certified Master (10g) http://www.oracle.com/technology/ocm/shussain.html Co-author Oracle 11gR1/R2 RAC Handbook http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-11g-r1-r2-real-application-clusters-handbook/book Oracle ACE http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=19297:4:4640302666204919::NO:4:P4_ID:186 OCP 8i,9i,10g & 11g DBA RAC Certified Expert Official Oracle RAC SIG Representative for Saudi Arabian region ( http://www.oracleracsig.org/) I blog at http://jaffardba.blogspot.com/ LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/sjaffarhussain -------------------- "Winners don't do different things.
