RE: rman incremental backups vs. full backups

I believe Arup Nanda has an article about some of the 10g Rman features. One that is pertinent here is that you can actually merge and incremental backup into a previous full backup ...that's not during recovery but effectively creating a full-more-recent backup set that you can then use to restore and recover. It sounded VERY kewl.

...of coarse it's entirely possible that I misunderstood what Arup was saying.=20

Subject: rman incremental backups vs. full backups

I believe I read somewhere that you should only take 1 full backup ever. I can't remember where. I just took an RMAN class from Oracle. The instructor said that she does not agree with this. If you have too many incrementals it increases the amount of time it takes to recover. What are some strategies that you use?=20
