What is the difference between hot backup and cold backup in oracle? Tell about their benefits also...

Answer / Akash Kumar

Hot backups are online, non-intrusive backups that allow databases to remain accessible during the backup process. They provide faster recovery times as less downtime is required for the backup. However, they can consume more system resources and may require a higher level of expertise to perform. Cold backups, on the other hand, involve shutting down the database instance before taking the backup. This approach consumes fewer resources but requires longer recovery times. The benefits of hot backups are faster recovery times and less downtime, while cold backups offer better resource utilization and lower risk of data corruption.
