        Hopefully one of the authors on the list is writing the great RMAN book that people like me need so much. In the meanwhile, check out "Oracle RMAN Pocket Reference" from O'Reilly. At only $10 you can't pass it up. Jonathan Gennick who participates on this list edited it.

        For us, hot backups never worked out. That is why we are looking at RMAN.

List,
  I need the name of a good book that deals specifically with RMAN. I have read the fine manual and have found out that it basically works with a third party vendor software if you are using tape as the backup storage media. There has to be a way around this requirement. I have a 70 GIG test database that I would like to use Rman on and I am not going to use a catalog for RMAN. I have a system tape drive that I would like to use to backup each tablespace individually. I do not have a large or multi cartridge drive to use. Backup to disk is not possible as I do not have much free space.
 Could you please inform me of the contents of your V$BACKUP_DEVICE.DEVICE_NAME if you use a tape drive for backups. Thanks,
Ron
ROR mª¿ªm
