Thank Gary for the reply. I have already implemented BCV on a different environment. My question was related to BCV/RMAN as what I have done before was with BCV/SQL BT.
Thanx for the input

This is a pretty large, complex topic. Which is likely why you didn't get any replies. Myself not having enough time to go into many details, here are few key points:
We run on EMC. We don't use RMAN.
Biggest pro:
BCV - business continuation volumes. I can afford 5 minutes of downtime
weekly. In that window I get a full cold backup of few hundred gigs of
database files.
Cons:
Complex beast to setup from EMC side. This translates in very few available
resources who can do so.
Double the disk - for BCV with secondary, online copy of everything. We
learned with our Symmetrix box that its not the amount of disk thats costly,
but the effort to add additional disks.
Process to setup?
1. Identify your availability requirements. 2. Overestimate storage requirements. Multiply by two. 3. You do have a fail-over machine? It will have to support entireproduction load if primary fails, plus local apps - don't undersize. 4. Train some one onsite in EMC ways.

Hi Folks,
Good Morning. I am very new to this forum, So Please bear with me for any mistakes. I am also relatively new to the oracle 8 front(I am coming back to oracle after a gap of 4 years). So the question may be stupid.
We are trying to set up an environment using Oracle 8.1.7, Emc Timefinder and RMAN. While there are no documents to describe how to do the setup on this, We did find some notes. But those are with oracle 7.0.
Is someone on the group has this kind of setup? If so, Can you update me on the process?? Any Pros and Cons to go with this?
Thanx for all responses
