Backup Planning
G.B.Q.Mar 28 2006 — edited Mar 29 2006Hi, Guys. Just need your comments on my backup plan changes.
Since my database is now too big, I would like to make daily tablespace backup instead of weekend whole database backup. Suppose I will backup like this:
Monday: SYSTEM + SYSAUX tablespace
Tudesday: APP_1
Wednesday: APP_2
Thursday: APP_3
Friday: APP_4
Staturday: APP_5
Sunday: APP_6
I configure the record keep time of control file to 8 days and backup archivelog for every backup. Delete obsolete on every backup. A few concerns here:
1 - I'm not able to do PITR to time before last tablespace backup, right?
2 - I need to restore evevery data file from backups to do PITR, right?
3 - UNDO tablespace (I configured a undo tablespace under auto-undo management option) is not backed-up since I assume it can be re-configure in mount state before doing recovery of datafiles, am I right?
Thanks for any inputs, again.
G.B.
