Oracle7 Server Getting Started for Windows NT

Backup Manager

Backup Manager is one of the Windows NT–based database
management tools included with Oracle7 Server for Windows NT. Use it
to back up your Oracle7 database.

The Backup Manager runs in two modes (depending upon the status of
the database and the Support Recovery option), located on the
Configure Initialization Parameters dialog box of Database Manager.

The Backup Manager, when opened, appears in one of two ways,
depending upon the status of the database:

running in ARCHIVELOG mode—the database is running and
the Support Recovery option is on, the database is in
ARCHIVELOG mode

running in NOARCHIVELOG mode or not running—the
database is running and the Support Recovery option is off, the
database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode

During the Backup process, you may be prompted to enter your
database password. If so, type your database password and choose OK.

Additional Information:

See Oracle7 Server Administrator’s

Guide for a detailed discussion of backing up the database.

Backing Up Active Files

Use OCOPY two ways. The first way is to copy the open file to another
name and location on a hard disk, where an archive utility can back it
up.

The syntax for using OCOPY in this way is:

C:\>OCOPYnn old_file new_file
