Can Backup Professional backup my Oracle 8 database using hot archive mode?
The Backup Professional Oracle module effectively backs up Oracle 7, 8 and 9. There are many ways to configure this module. It can be used in conjunction with hot archive mode, cold archive mode and replica mode. Additionally, this module will capture the Oracle redo log file when it is completed and immediately append it to tape or put it on a virtual disk archive for safe keeping. The database is backed up in a very coherent state suitable for restoring. Backup Professional understands the virtual space inside of the Oracle database files and removes this so the archive media does not contain this. This greatly improves restore time and saves space on tapes and disks.
