Rob,
Can one use 9i RMAN to backup lower version databases (8.0.x, 8.1.x)? What new functionality will be supported in doing so?

We do not use RMAN at the moment, but we may consider it in the near future.

Thanks.

Kirti

New Rman features in 9i make it even nicer...

Recover specific blocks, while the database and the datafile is still available.
Automatic channel allocation.
retention policies.
restartable backups and restores.
backing up database and archivelog files in one operation run command isn't needed in most places anymore...

Also Rman is FREE, unlike some of the other backup/recovery tools out there... :-)
I do know that one major software supplier of backup and recovery tools is reworking
their product so that it's just a front end to Rman....
