You can actually use Database Maintenance Plans, to mimic RMAN to a certain
extent. Database Maintenance Plans is basically a wizard that generates a
load of MSDB jobs that get run by the SQL*Agent. This does have some
limitations though. It has no support for differential backups, doesn't
support appended backups to an already existing "device", you can't duplex
back up files, and a number of the backup options aren't available.
This is described in some detail in "SQLServer for Oracle DBAs" an e-book
that I would highly recommend to all primarily Oracle DBAs that have to do a
certain amount of SQLServer work too.

There is no MSSQL utility that is directly equivalent to RMAN. You use
Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer to manage backups.

Hi good people-
Does anyone out there know of the equivalent of oracles RMAN in MS SQL
server environs.
Im investigating the possibility of having my SQL server dump the backups
direct to a third party tape library VERITAS to be specific.
Your input on this thread will be highly appreciated.
CSW Simon.
