I hope I've mentioned it more than once!

RMAN in 9i is extremely useable. The scripting language from hell can still be used if you've devilish instincts, but otherwise 'backup database;' is about it: everything else is a one-off set-and-forget job, if you want it to be.

Added to which, block-level recover and restore is only possible in RMAN.

Likewise, incrementals.

A very nice utility indeed.
