Hi,
My Advance thanks for your response.

I am a Junior DBA in my concern (recently employed) where we have database of 120 GB, regular backup of this database (some important schemas) takes 5 hrs .

Also i learned about Incremental Backup in oracle, where we need to take a full backup as first step.

My question is, if I perform incremental backup after a full backup, will it reduce my backup time???.

Actual transaction of a day (2000 -3000 entries).

FYI : I have a test server to check the difference.
So pls help me. I need a guidance.

Thank you.
Gopinath. M

Actually incremental backup is supported when ur are have a backupstrategy using RMAN.

Obviously, it will reduce time.
First time u need to take a full back up.
Then U do an incremental backup which are backups of a
datafile that contain only blocks that changed after a previous incremental backup.

Go though the RMAN guide to get a full idea ...
