Jacky,
Why on earth would you take a cold backup these days?
It is probably not a problem, the only issue I see is you have to
activate the database after mounting it as a standby database. I have
never tried it, though, because I cannot see the point of taking a cold
backup. So, again, why not take a hot backup?
Best regards,
Carel-Jan Engel
