Oracle Database RMAN is not only a good backup solution, it can also be used to migrate databases to new hardware or a new data center. Get the slides and watch the full recording here: dohdatabase.co...
Nice. Path selection is source and target are the equivalent the same. eg. Linux to Linux . Btw duplicate for standby with higher version is not possible. Backup/Restore is handy in that case
Hi, Yes, you are right. Data Guard is a great tool for migrations, however, redo transport requires SQL*Net connection between source and target. In some situations, that's not allowed and here incremental backups can be very useful. But if Data Guard is an option, I take Data Guard any day of the week. Regards, Daniel
