Re: RMAN question(s)

there is one little detail I want to make sure you attend to. Jared was the only one who mentioned it in his script. Just make sure your very last statement in the script is a 'backup controlfile'. this is done automatically for you when you use 'backup database plus....'. This is important so when you restore, you are using a CF where your current backup has been registered.
