Steve, As a follow up I checked the Legato.com site and they advertize as the only company shipping a media management software with every copy of Oracle even 9i. I located the product. I Believe it is incorporated into the OEM backup strategy but it is not a stand alone product that I could find. Ron

I did find reference to a readmelsm.doc in the index on the 8i for Nt disk but I could not find the file or the software. Think I will try the web for Legato for linux. Ron >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/04/02 02:08PM >>> I once used the scaled down version of Legato that came for free with Oracle and configured it without any problem. I used the tape drive on the DB server. Does Legato still come with 8i or 9i? -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 11:49 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L List, I need the name of a good book that deals specifically with RMAN. I have read the fine manual and have found out that it basically works with a third party vendor software if you are using tape as the backup storage media. There has to be a way around this requirement. I have a 70 GIG test database that I would like to use Rman on and I am not going to use a catalog for RMAN. I have a system tape drive that I would like to use to backup each tablespace individually. I do not have a large or multi cartridge drive to use. Backup to disk is not possible as I do not have much free space. Could you please inform me of the contents of your V$BACKUP_DEVICE.DEVICE_NAME if you use a tape drive for backups.
