I use OEM and RMAN the same as Brian lists below, but I question the statement:

> With a GUI tool like OEM you can centralize the scripts for both
backups and other tasks.

Unless you use TCL, OEM won't store your UNIX/Linux/Perl/... scripts. Instead, they need to reside on each server you run the job on. The only thing centralized is the shell of the scheduled job, as in the OEM wrapper that handles scheduling and notification.

At least that's how its been for OEM up through 9i.
