RE: Different Backups - A Comparative analysis

I think SQLBackTrack can get the table data back from the backup file without the need to create a partial database on another server and then export the table from it.

I remember seeing a demo where a dropped table was recovered by the BMC rep.

RMAN Does everything that SQL Backtrack does, for free. :-) In fact, last I heard, BMC was planning on altering SQL Backtrack so that it

is really nothing more than a nice fancy front end to RMAN. When I was at CSX we moved away from SQL Backtrack to RMAN and never had any regrets. The only issue with SQL Backtrack vs. RMAN was support for 7.x databases. RMAN does not support anything < 8.0.

I *think* that RMAN does everything SQL Backtrack does.

Can't be positive, as I haven't used it for awhile.

RMAN seems to have everything I recall SQL BT having, and then some.
