automate Oracle database backup on Windows 2000 server
Backup, Database Backup, Oracle 8i, Oracle backup, Oracle database backup and recovery, Windows 2000 Server
Hello,
I have to make a cold backup of our test database. The database is oracle 8.1.7 on a Windows 2000 server. I have made bat files to do this and have scheduled them in the Windows scheduled tasks application. This works fine.
I check to see if my jobs have run successfully by looking the the scheduler log file.
My question is Can I automate this to for example sending me an email with the results of the backup?
I'm new to this part of Oracle so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer Wiki:
What you could do is have the results of the copy be sent to a log file in a particular location so that you could have a shortcut on your desktop to that location and look at the logs.
To do that, your .bat files would direct the output of the command like this: copy *.* > c:results.log
In the log, you will see the files that got copied and at the end it will say x number of files copied. If it says that, it worked. Also, you might be able to find a program from the web that allows you to send email from DOS and attached the log file.
