MessageHI,

We are a backtrack shop also and we are happy with it. We have not yet pressure to go to rman.
If you switch to rman, I'm interested in knowing the migration effort.

We have been using SQL Backtrack for backup and recovery for about 6 years now. We are being pressured to start using RMAN because it is free. Makes sense but I am wondering about reliability, complexity, learning curve, etc...

Has anyone had experience with both products or anyone new to RMAN that can give me an idea of what to expect?

Thanks!

Ron
