9.1E version: Let's say I have a large BI file that is grown to 15 GB and reached the critical limit. In our project they take a backup (will run for 7 hrs) before truncating the BI. Is a backup necessary? Can't I bring down the DB, do a roll forward and truncate the BI? May be a dumb question but would like to know what will be the effects if we do it without a backup - if we can then it will save us a good amount of prod downtime. [We do incremental backups everyday and a full back up once a week]
