Robert, Put me on the list for a copy when you finish. Seriously, It is a needed book that will make sense of the information presented in the doc's. A down to earth instruction manual that explains in real terms the usage and options for RMAN. Lisa posed a question about the different views and their interrelations and she wanted to know about deleting old backup sets when you do not use a catalog. It seams that Oracle docs only talk about using a catalog. A lot of us do not have the need for a catalog and tying the command to the non catalog RMAN would be helpful. Answer to simple question like: Do have to use RMAN to backup my read only tablespaces? How do I get the tape drive to work with RMAN? How do I perform a database backup when I only have 5 GIG free space and the data is 20 GIG? If I use OEM to run the backups can I have my OMS on the same server?
Does OEM backup use RMAN in a GUI form? Can I use RMAN to restore a database that was backup up with OEM backup? Just a few questions that are encountered each day as we go through the process of backing up our data.

I'm wondering what you would like to see in such a book and would you use such a book? Ideas and comments welcome. Robert G.
