I export our rman repository and ftp the .dmp file to another server. Jay >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/09/03 03:30PM >>> I do a cold backup of my repository daily. Replication of it is not a bad idea, as Arup mentioned, though I haven't tried it myself. Speaking of backing up the RMAN repository, does anyone back them up hot? Seems to me that would not be a good idea.

Then you use this to record the backups of the recovery catalog database. I never headed this advice, altho I do use a recovery catalog for all production, developement, and test databases that I back up.
