Yup. In rman, do this: - shutdown immediate - startup mount - backup database; - alter database open; You should be good to go. On 11/6/06, Zelli, Brian <Brian.Zelli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello all, I've decided to become more intimate with using rman as opposed to cron scripting. So, my first attempt at a test database bombs because of the database not being in ARCHIVELOG mode. I did a google to see if I can actually backup a db in NOARCHIVELOG mode and on Ask Tom, it says yes. I looked at the solution and it doesn't make any sense. Has anybody done this, a backup in NOARCHIVELOG mode using rman? ciao, Brian *Brian J.
