If you back up your OHs regularly, you're getting OCR backups since it does automatic backups to a location in the CRS OH (CRS_HOME/cdata/<cluster_name>). You can back up voting disks using dd on Unix-flavored systems.

I don't think RMAN handles this, but it can be backed up with the command "ocrdump". 2) Does anything need to be done with the voting file ? I don't believe we need to do anything except recreate the voting file, but I am not positive. Any advice is welcome. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
