Hi,

Just started to use Oracle Express for a development project.
The data stored is complex and we need to perform periodical backups.
I have enabled the ARCHIVELOG feature to enable online backups to be able to take backups without having to shut the database down.

The Windows XP installation contains a command file (Backup.bat) that stores
data files in the flash_recovery_area.

Which files do I need to copy to tape?
Must all files in the flash_recovery_area be kept to be able to perform recovery?
What about incremental vs full backups.

Please bare with my newbi questions

BR

Totally depends on you. You can copy all or neither.
