RE: Using Recovery Catalog with RMAN

Done,

Our Rman catalog is on a different box from all of the Oracle databases. It is backed up nightly (cold) after all Rman backups have been completed.

You could, optionally, simply export the Rman user on a daily basis (when the catalog is not in use).

hope this helps

Donald,

We have a second catalog of the same version number on a different small UNIX machine which we back up the first catalog database to. We also export the first catalog database.

What are some practical ways that people have came up with to protect the RMAN recovery catalog? We have the catalog in a separate database on the same box as the database we are wanting to backup. The situation came up recently where the all three control files for both databases were corrupted by an attempted OS upgrade. So we could not bring up the database that contained the Recovery Catalog. How are people approaching the backup of the database which contains the Recovery Catalog?

All input is appreciated
