Hi all,

I would like to get use of RMAN feature and play around with it on my standaloline laptop running Win2K professional.

I have installed Oracle9iR1 database and having 2 test databases created and running well. I am currently reading the RMAN pdf file provided by Oracle Documentation CD.

Can someone give me some guides or show me where to get more information on running RMAN backup and restore if necessary on a standalone laptop ?

I understand that there shall be some tape library systems attached with database machine to run the RMAN backup but would it be possible to use like NT ocopy to do the RMAN backup which means store the backup copies in my hardisk.
The databases are relatively very small.

I hope I can manage to find out how it works and forget about it if my case doesn't really working as I don't have additional tape libary system attached to my laptop. Received on Wed Dec 10 2003 - 00:19:10 CST
