Default How to determine if tablespace/datafile is in BACKUP mode - 06-09-2008 , 09:07 AM






I have a 7.3.4.5.0 instance, that does hot backups to another machine via
NFS. The NFS server had issues this weekend, and I believe that everything
is back to normal now, but i would like to make certain that none of the
instances tablespaces/datafiles were inadvertently left in BACKUP mode.

How can I verify this?

Query the V$BACKUP view. Should any file# have a status of ACTIVE
it's still in backup mode and this needs to be corrected. As I
understand it Oracle 7, if started with files in backup mode after a
crash or a SHUTDOWN ABORT, will assume media recovery is required.

Thanks, Good news is thta my machine was able to continue, once the NFS
server was rebooted. Guess I lucked out on that one. Thanks for the quick
answer.
