I believe not. Part of the reason is that the control files are used to store some of the information for RMAN. The formats of 7.* and 8.* are not compatible in that there's 17 added sections in the O8 controlfile. You've probably noticed the increased size between 7.* and 8.*. Velpuri covers quite a bit of of this in his book. See pages 250 - 252 and chapter 6 of his O8 backup and recovery book. If you don't have the book, get it.

Can RMAN be used to backup a V7.3.4.5 instance? In addition to the obsolete version, which I'm forced to continue to support, I'm supporting both 8i & 9i instances.
