PSU patching and backup

466593Feb 21 2012 — edited Feb 21 2012

Hello,

When applying PSU patches and other interim patches, would you guys say it's necessary to backup the Oracle Home in question and the central inventory before applying the patch?
I know that the patch is stored in the .patch_storage directory so that Opatch can roll it back at a later point. Would this suffice or do you recommend a separate backup of the binaries and inventory as well?

thanks.
