You will need to: 1) shutdown the database 2) Create a list of files 3) Call the Perl script<BR />(after changing login/password/hostname to suit your needs) with the list of filenames<BR />4) Restart the database.<BR /><BR />Plan B.<BR /><BR />Export the files via NFS and back them up to a tape drive on the remote host.
