WIPMay 7 2008 — edited Aug 1 2008Hi All,
I have ORACLE9iR2 on Linux RHEL.
The developement db ORADEV was backed up yesterday(COLDBACKUP) using RMAN catalog database.
when i backed it up yesteday I did
RMAN>backup database ;
Today when I restore the database ....it says missing control file .....
My Questions is ......
From next time onwards.....how do i backup the complete developement database
which will include the controlfile and the redo log file ......
It seems that we can backup the controldfiles as welll....but cannot backup the redo log files ????....
Please enlighten me ...........and do not suggest the copy/cp command on OS as cold backup as i want to do it through RMAN.............
Many Thanks in Advance.
