Hi
I am configuring Oracle Application Server 10gR2 backup script on Linux.
bkp_restore.pl
I have some doubts about the backup procedure. In the documentation to
perform a full middle tier backup we have to carry out these steps:
1. Backup the middle tier Oracle Home using tar or cpio.
2. Backup the middle tier Configuration Files using this command:
bkp_restore.sh -m backup_config
I wonder why I have to backup the config files when I have just made the
whole ORACLE_HOME backup?
The documentation gives this reason,
*The reason for doing a configuration file backup immediately after backing
up the entire Oracle home is that it provides a snapshot of your initial
configuration files, in case you start to reconfigure your system and then
would like to restore the configuration files to their original state.*
I dont really understand what is it talking about, not sure if its my
English. It seems to me that it is saying that in the case of when I restore
the full oracle home backup and I start modifying the config files if I want
to rollback the modificacions instead of restoring the whole ORACLE_HOME I
can restored the config files backup from step 2? Or it is saying something
else which I dont get it?
Also does anyone know the difference between
*bkp_restore.sh -m backup_config* and
*bkp_restore.sh -m backup_online*
**
I cant figure out the difference :-(
TIA
