Are you using Quick I/O or do any of your datafiles fronted by a link? If so, RMAN is not backing up the links, just the data in the datafiles. When restoring, you will have to precreate the links and/or the QIO files, if they have been lost. That was a little gotcha' that surprised us when we tested the recovery.

Subject: RMAN - Veritas NETBackup
We are going to use RMAN AND Veritas netbackup with Oracle 8.1.6 unix
solaris 8 and a 60 tape dlt drive.
looks a cool combination with very little for the dba to do and even
better - no need for sys admin people once its all set up. In fact the the
sysadm's for this job will just add and remove tapes, sounds like a computer
operator to me.

Any one have exeriences using these tools or any gotcha's that the sun rep's
didn't share with us.
Also the Sun rep's really pushed RMAN which i was surprised about
