Zoltan, You can't Oracle using the TDP without RMAN. There are many people who write their own scripts to backup Oracle. You can backup a tablespace at a time, by puttting the tablespace in "backup mode" and then using a SELECTIVE backup on the tablespace (which is a file.) You could write a script to do this, one tablespace at a time. The biggest problem we have encountered doing this, is that when a new tablespace is added to the database, you must be sure to modify your backup script accordingly.

We installed it, only to realize it won't work since there is no sign of RMAN.EXE on this machine? So, the owner of this box/package contacts the vendor. Their response was"Oracle is version 7.3.4, not 8i or 9i, which will not run with their app. .... said the person she spoke to did not seem to know what RMAN was....." So, how does one backup an Oracle app/database, using the TDP without RMAN ? I am not an Oracle person but even I know that RMAN is the utility to do database backup/restore/maintenance ! Suggestions, anyone ?
