Re: RMAN media manager

Jeffrey,
 We use the RMAN to backup the database to disk at night and then transfer the backups to a server that has a tape drive to provide offsite storage. I am able to keep 1 month on site on the storage server. It isn't a powerfull machine, just a pc with a lot of disk space. I maintain 2 week live on the database server just in case.  It works great as we are a mixed environment of Novell,Linux, and Windows. Ron

We are planning a switch from Windows to Linux for our systems. As a result, we can no longer use Veritas Backupexec and must now switch to RMAN. Since we are NOT going to connect a tape drive to each server, what our my options for using a media manager. Veritas has a product called Netbackup that works with RMAN. Database is Oracle 9i. Are there other alternatives?
