Develop a Backup Strategy

You can use the following guidelines to develop a backup strategy.

Perform a full online backup of your Oracle databases.
Perform an offline backup of the entire database using Arcserve Backup with the Client Agent for Windows. This provides copies of all data files, redo log files, and control files of your database.
Back up database objects to update the full database backup. Heavily used tablespaces should be backed up frequently to reduce database recovery time.
Back up the database control file each time you make a structural change to the database.
Mirror Oracle online redo logs. The agent does not perform this procedure. For more information about mirroring online redo logs, see the Oracle Documentation.

For more information about Oracle backup and recovery procedures, see the Oracle documentation.
