An enhancement to the "uplicate "ata#ase feature is that the physical stan"#y or clone "ata#ase has a "ifferent "ata#ase i"entifier 0DB,D1 from the source "ata#ase which remo$es the hassle of registering this "ata#ase in &'A( catalog% 2e can "uplicate a "ata#ase in two ways3 1% Acti$e "ata#ase "uplication 4% Backup5#ase" "uplication Acti$e "ata#ase "uplication copies the li$e target "ata#ase o$er the network to the au6iliary "estination an" creates the "uplicate "ata#ase% The "ifference is that we "on7t nee" to ha$e the pre5e6isting &'A( #ackups since the files of the acti$e "ata#ase are copie" o$er the network% The "uplication is performe" #y the au6iliary channel%
