The same is the para that i have been refering to from the latest redbook. hmm that means, I can take system files backup too, without any problem with IMAGETYPE=dynamic, but that will cause trouble only in situations where forexample, syslog is written and something like that which might cause problem, otherwise the rest will be backed up and i can safely rely on the backup, just that i will have to run fsck in the end if problem is there.
On the other hand, what would open file backup do, like if I take entire system backup (incremental) daily, would that suffice my requirement by taking backu pof files that are open? (obviously not oracle files/databases, but yes some system files) Kind Regards, Sandra "Stapleton, Mark" wrote: > That's what I get when I trust my memory.
