Oracle Hot Backup Script

[sethu]

Hi,<br><br>I have installed Oracle 8i in Solaris 2.7. I don't have a script to make hot backups to another disk(not tape), Please help me if any of you have it. Links to other sites which can provide me with one will also do. <br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>--Sethu.
