The 101 Backup and Recovery book by Oracle Press that Dennis mentioned is good. I don't have the book here on my desk, and Amazon for some reason doesn't mention the authors names on it's web page (need to shout at OP about that maybe)...
Also there is a O'Reilly RMAN handbook that is out, but it's more for reference and not for learning. Even though it's not about RMAN, and the later versions were not as concise and full of juicy architectural tidbits, the Oracle8i Backup and Recovery Handbook by Rama Velpuri is quite good with regards to the Oracle database internals and recovery. My new RMAN book just showed up on Amazon a few days ago for pre-sales!! Robert G. Freeman - Oracle OCP Oracle Database Architect CSX Midtier Database Administration Author Oracle9i RMAN Backup and Recovery (Oracle Press - Oct 2002) Oracle9i New Features (Oracle Press) Mastering Oracle8i (Sybex) Clark Griswold: Eddie, has anyone ever told you that you're bad luck? Cousin Eddie: Those were my mother's dying words. But I guess if your body's covered in third degree burns, and your foot's caught in a bear trap, you tend to start talkin' crazy. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 5:35 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Robert, Wondering if you would mind posting some of the best resources for RMAN that you have found besides the documentation. I have a request from someone who is a newbie to track down some info, I would recommend your book if it was out yet :) Thanks, Ethan -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Post, Ethan INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
