RE: rman: how do you backup the recovery catalog database?

We have a scheduled (by cron) shutdown/coldbackup/startup daily @ 3:00 PM when no DB backups are running....and the backup is system copied to tape daily ....

With that and archive logs, we feel comfortably sure we could restore it and our production databases with it.
