Thanks Tom,
One more question, If I do an online backup and then restore the database is this new 'copy' of the database truncated from the original?
Thanks again to all.
What do you mean by "truncated"?
It is a complete copy as of the point in time where you started the backup.
By truncated I mean will _proutil <dbname> -C truncate bi need to be run?
I know that if you just use something like a cp command from UNIX that the databases will still be connected to one another and anything that happens to one will be reflected in the other.
please can any one help me with this problem
