Hi Ravi, Please correct me if I couldn't understand your question: To be on safer side, you want to take one more copy of existing OCR before proceeding with any restore of OCR. Though backup mechanism of OCR is inbuilt still you can take logical backup of OCR using the following commands ocrconfig -export -- To take export backup ocrconfig -import -- To import Thanks -Harish Kalra Oracle SSI Ravi_Kulkarni@xxxxxxxx wrote:Friends, Is it possible to take a dump of backup OCR that Oracle stores in $ORA_CRS_HOME/cdata//backupxx.ocr without actually restoring it using OCRDUMP ? Context : We have a case where some CRS resources have vanished (due to DG Broker switchover attempt - a different issue) and want to make sure backup has everything in place before resorting to an actual restore. Thanks, Ravi. --------------------------------- Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.
