Win2000/NT hot backup script

Question

Can someone provide a basci script for online(hot) backup for Oracle9i(8i) on Windows2000/NT server? we have a online application, and plan to back it up every night.
Also, Windows should have administrative tool to schedule the backup by envoking the script every night after we set it up, right?
Many THANKS for your help!!!

Answer 1

Hope this solves ur problem
Run this script through SQLPLUS and it will ask you for the
HOT_BACK_DIR and GEN_FILE values.
HOT_BACK_DIR : defines the directory to which the hot backup is written
SCRIPT_FILE : Hot Backup Script for your environment
INT_PWD :Internal Password ( Needed for NT Only )
Give me the Credit and never use it without askin me ;)
