Backing Up the Oracle Reporting Database
As part of your initial installation, you were asked to perform an initial cold backup of your Reporting Database (in /data01, /data02, /data03, /data04, /data05, and /data06 for Linux and \oradata for Windows).
For a Cold Backup—stop Oracle and take a backup of the Oracle reporting database by performing a file system backup of /data01, /data02, /data03, /data04, /data05, and /data06 for Linux or \oradata for Windows.
