I have veritas netbackup here but I used to take only the database backup in that. I have got another server where I have space to store the backup. <br />
My prime objective is to have a complete OS backup in case of any disaster and also the actual recovery procedure. <br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have some Red Hat Linux production servers where Oracle database is installed. Right now we are taking the backup of oracle database right now. As of now we are not taking the backup of OS (including the filiesystems). I would like to know about the following:<br />
<br />
1) &nbsp;Complete OS backup including patches<br />
2) &nbsp;How to get the details of the applied patches from Linux<br />
3) &nbsp;How to apply a new patch in limux<br />
<br />

Linux File System

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
