Re: RE : RMAN Repository

Gene, i consider it a good redundancy method for recovery.

put the repository on a 24x7 machine, that way if you lose all of the controlfiles you can still easily restore/recover.

repository is to go away then why bother learning the intricacies of it. Has anyone else heard the RMAN repository was going away? It appears much simpler to setup w/out the repository. Besides reporting advantages, what are the real benefits to using a repository?
