I think you missed the upgrade to 10G. I believe the rman files in 10G = are
transportable (and usable) over different operating systems. In 9.2 they = are
not. And although you use samba for transporting files, oracle knows = nothing
about that and creates NT-files when you make a backup and tries to read Linux files when restoring the database.=20 If you do upgrade to 10G, you can also use transportable tablespaces = which
are transportable over operating systems (only in 10, not in 9.2) if the tablespaces are 'self contained'. See
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/10gdba/week16_10gdba.html = for
a first look on the TTS feature.

Maybe the answer to your last question is yes, rethink ;-).
