With a warm backup, the database does not have to be shut down. Warm backups are therefore less disruptive than cold backups, in which the database does have to be shut down. Still, try to back up the database during non-peak hours, as the backup process consumes a significant amount of disk I/O resources. Avoid performing a backup at the same as time as other database-intensive programs (for example, prefetching) are being run.
To perform a warm backup of the Oracle database
Log into the AS3000 Database Server as the oracle user.

The backup may take a significant amount of time.
