Aside from the docs and Howard's excellent help, you are hopefully supported, and can get access to metalink. Metalink has a lot of interesting information, here's the rman index: http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showFrameDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=131865.1 see the duplication notes under getting started.

Here's a faq for this group:
