EMC Symmetrix “BCV” (disk to disk within same
frame) and SRDF (disk from one frame to disk in another).
Standby Database – create duplicate of your DB on
another server – automatically copy the archive logs from PROD to Standby
server and run the logs there on a scheduled basis to keep that DB as near up
to date with the source DB as possible. At one job we did this –
archive logs copied immediately but there was a 6 hour hold before applying –
just in case whatever crapped out PROD made it to the logs we’d have time
to stop it form applying the bad one.
RMAN – Uses DB repository to backup oracle DBs going
to any of the other methods supported by your backup software.
