I'm re-evaluating the backup/recovery process at our shop due to everyone who built it leaving and the rest of us trying to understand it. I've heard before that RMAN is "flaky" on version 8.0 and we shouldn't use it before 8.1. Can anyone verify/deny this? Are there a specific version of Oracle before which it didn't work well? Or does it work fine?

Thanks,
