Just two things to mention: - can have FRA but you don't have to backup your datafiles there or even put your archivelogs there. you can manage all of it separately. FRA is the only destination for flashback logs but that's it. Is flashback logs what you need to restore quickly (i.e. without rebuilding of the new standby) after switchover. You need to flashback the database and flashback logs can only be stored in FRA. Thus, FRA requirements but in fact it's enabled flashback logging that's required. Am I right? - Consider incrementally updated standby where you make often incremental backups and ship them to standby. It's often the way to go for DW applications but there is no automation with Data Guard. On Dec 16, 2007 10:26 AM, Grzegorz Goryszewski <grzegorzof@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thank You for quick responses.
