What has quest to do with this thread? RMAN is an Oracle developed, Oracle supplied and Oracle supported software. Quest is a third party vendor that I used to use. And believe me: I never trusted them.

And I don't trust RMAN either - I did test it and the results where repeatedly predictable. But even with RMAN, which comes very near to be trustworthy, you can easily burn yourself if something unexpected enters the picture and you're back to having to know what's going on and how to recover from that.

Do I rely on RMAN? Yes.
Do I trust it? To some extent.

Who do I have to trust? My brain, and even that fails me frequently!
