“Spectra Logic Corp. Monday announced that the company’s
Alexandria Backup and Archival Librarian(TM) software is the first
major backup software to support “hot” backup of Oracle8 and Oracle
Applications on the Linux operating system (OS).”
“During this week’s LinuxWorld Conference and Expo being held at
the San Jose Convention Center from March 1-3, the company will
distribute free trial CDs of its Alexandria software with support
for hot Oracle backup on Linux. The company will be exhibiting in
booth No. 1546.”
“In Oracle production environments, COBRA automatically
discovers Oracle databases, including new tablespaces and
datafiles, and puts the tablespaces into backup mode. Once the
tablespaces are in backup mode and the datafiles are backed up, the
tablespaces are taken out of backup mode.”
