Hi guys,
i was taking an ignite backup of entire vg00..after sometime it asked me for volume 2 to be mounted........then i inserted another tape and pressed go....within 3 sec i got message make_tape_recovery completed successfully........
I just want to know whether my tape has been successfully created or not.....???

Shalom,

Its a two tape backup and is probably okay.

You need to test it to be sure.

Answer to second question: No. A backup taken on a 11i v1 machine when restored to a 11i v2 machine will leave you with an 11 v1 machine.

hi,

For me no, it's preferable to have a homogenious server
