Hi all: We have been asked to look at implementing Veritas net backup. While the Veritas piece is being handled by another group, I need to setup RMAN and a recovery database/catalog. Questions 1)Can the recovery catalog register databases on remote nodes. And if it can is that a good idea?. I have a recovery catalog in a small db on one of three servers. It works for all databases on all three servers with no problems. 2)We are going to have 1 robotic tape library (STK) that all backups will go to. If using one Recovery catalog, can the backup be written directly to the central tape device, or is there some overhead by the recovery catalog. I don't know about backups to tape because we backup to disk and copy the backups to tape. 3)Can the recovery catalog on unix register NT databases . I would think so. It is very tolerant.
