There are no users on the system after midnight. We have about a 10

new version of our newspaper classified pagination system running on
sunfire240's. Right now, we are still using the old system as well as
this version. It is comprised of a primary and replicated server,
giving us some redundancy. The oracle slice is about 70 Gb and current
utilization is 17%. I will check with vendor to find out which type of
backup is being performed.

thanks again,

Is your database replicated to the replicated server, and if so, by what

means ? One possibibility is Oracle symmetric replication. Symmetric
replication can be extremely high maintenance. Stay away from it if you are
a one-person shop, as your messages seem to indicate.

And you are sure that every one of these users always properly log off?
Even so, do a ps -ef; you will see, oracle is always doing something,
and it consideres itself a user. Login and select * from v$session,
you'll see you are not the only one on.

Daniel is right, RMAN is much smarter about Oracle than any other
backup solution, definitely the way to go for the long term, too easy
to get locked into short term solutions.

The vendor was notified and they are currently doing a backup (maybe a
snapshot) to the filesystem. I am curently ufsdumping FS to DLT and
will utilize veritas when the veritas upgrade has been completed.

Thanks for the input.

If that is a snapshot, the backup may be useless (while made
with files open). Make sure you cover that (test, or liability)

Top-posting is one way to shut me up...

So many questions, I will have to take this to the vendor.

Thanks,
