Mike,

We did create another RMAN catalog on a small alternate host. We back up our main catalog. Yes, it is redundant but if you're going to go to all the work of getting RMAN working, you might as well go the extra distance and do this so you're covered.

Hi everybody,
           I've taken responsibility of a couple of Oracle systems on NT

(in

addition to my nice Solaris DBs). I'm setting up Legato to do the backups online using the Legato Networker Oracle Module. After checking the Legato docs, it seems that the only way of using this module is by integrating it with RMAN. is this right?

           Now, I'm sure that RMAN can do a good and flexible job. I've played
with it a little but I don't like the meeesssyyy way of backing up the RMAN catalog.
In the Legato docs , there's a section that warns you :

" Preparing For Disaster
  .
  Ensure that your RMAN Recovery catalog is being backed up regularly.   ."

           Doesn't this imply that you need to perform the catalog backup outside legato yourself?, so why did we buy it in the first place? I know you could create another catalog to perform cross catalog backups but
that all sounds far to complicated and error prone.

Anyone have any tips for me?

[I'm much happier with my online backup scripts on Unix that I've been using
and tweeking for years.]
