Adrian, that's good news!
thanks Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 12:28 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Yep, works ok. Best thing to do is check the compatibility matrix on Metalink (73431.1). So long as you have a valid combination of target, catalog db and catalog schema then everything should be fine. I think there are (were?) issues in restoring an 8.0.5 database using an 8.1 catalog schema, though backups work ok. Thats why we have the the RMAN80 schema (taken from 8.0.6 I think).

I remember that the backups worked fine when things were mismatched, but a restore did not work at all. This was back a few years so maybe things are more stable now.

We run 8.0, 8.1 and 9i target databases but have an 8.1.7 catalog, inside the catalog we have RMAN80, RMAN81 and RMAN901 schemas. All works fine. -----Original Message----- Sent: 20 August 2002 13:23 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L No, as long as the catalog is the highest version of Oracle.

RMAN doesn't run on Oracle7, but it doesn't need to.
