BR*Tools Example: Performing a SAP on Oracle Consistent Online Backup

Use a consistent online backup to take backups without shutting down the database.

In a consistent online backup, the database files and the offline redo log files are on the same backup volume.

Note

The backed up offline redo logs are independent from the BRARCHIVE log backups.
