Re: RMAN for other cases than total disaster?

Hi Daniel!
I didn't write something about version/os because it was an general question.
I know that one tool does not solve all problems and the question was: what kind of problems does it solve - with other words: wich kind of problems to fix with the hammer (rman ;^)?

So the question is not about which exotic problems does it solve, but which typical problems can one solve with rman. One of the obvious answer: disc failure and this class of problems But are there other "typical" cases?

Greetings
Bjørn
