All...
A developer working on a Solaris 2.6 server running Oracle 7.3.4 desires
a nightly backup (by simply copying them to a backup directory) of the
datafiles of an active instance. I explain that it will be a waste of
tape because the files will be corrupt and useless. He counters, "As
long as these files are there, irrespective of their state, oracle [sic]
provides the tools to restore the skeleton database based on these
files."
Will this be the case? I understand that there will [most likely] be
some loss of data, but will Oracle "fix" itself to a point where it's
useful again? TIA
