Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C3511E.25C33B1D Content-Type: text/plain I believe you can setup an RMAN Recovery Catalog within a database on a UNIX platform, which will back up a DB on Win2k. But I've never set it up this way. So basically, my question is, Is anyone else doing this right now? how well does it work for you? I'm understanding that there should be no difference because RMAN's Recovery catalog is just holding the metadata (nothing OS specific). Is my understanding correct?
