Hi Ron,
If you are deciding to do incremental backups you ideally need to do a
incremental level 0 backup before proceeding. RMAN doesn't like doing
incrementals if you don't.
Also, the size of the RMAN backup dump is actually a lot smaller than you
think because it only ever backs up the blocks
Ron
Yeah, technically you must perform an incremental level 0 before you
can perform the other incremental backups. I think that is what you meant,
but I think I saw somewhere that if you have done a complete backup but
didn't run it as an incremental level 0, then RMAN won't let you do th
Dennis,
Thanks for your comments.
I have just received the new 36 GIG drives for the Alpha system and I
plan to back the database up to disk and then during the day copy the
backups to tape for archival purposes.
I tried to use OEM RMAN backup on my test box to play-and-learn but
it does no
Ron - Couple of points for you to consider:
- If you only have a single Oracle server, you may want to consider using
the control file to store the RMAN information.
- Ideally, you will have another system with licensed Oracle to host your
RMAN catalog.
- You can host your RMAN catalog in a

I am just getting started in RMAN and have a question about the
recovery catalog that RMAN uses.
Does it have to be an Oracle database that stores the information
about the backup if you do not use the controlfile as the source of
backup information? For safety and disaster recover
Thanks to all tips,
I'll think about it. I may chose to do my own, as per Sujatha's
suggestion. At least I know where I stand, should disaster hit the machine.

Hi Mike,
I've been using the Legato/RMAN combination for a couple of years now. The
recovery catalog resides on the Legato Backup server. Once all the database
backups finish, we then do a cold backup of the recovery catalog database
straight to tape.
I don't know what others do, but this if yo
Mike - RMAN has two options - the recovery catalog and using the control
file of the target database. If you have only a single system, as I
understand the RMAN philosophy, you should use the control file option.
Also, from everything I've seen, export seems a fine way to keep the RMAN
schema back

I too am using Legato and Oracle, but haven't ventured to RMAN. I will start using it
soon. What I plan to do:
1) Put RMAN db/catalog on same server as legato backup server.
2) Cold backup RMAN db to disk daily after nightly RMAN backups.
3) Backup RMAN disk backups to tape for offsite.

Hi everybody,
I've taken responsibility of a couple of Oracle systems on NT (in
addition to my nice Solaris DBs). I'm setting up Legato to do the backups
online using the Legato Networker Oracle Module. After checking the Legato
docs, it seems that the only way of using this module is by
