You don't have to use rman to backup oracle databases although it is now improved to the point where it doesn't really make sense not to use it.

Yes rman has a backup command. Discussing all the different types of things that oracle needs to succeed in recovering a database to a different host is not something I am going to attempt here.

Go back to the oracle documentation and/or the rman books and invest some time. You need also to have a good understanding of oracle's architecture. Received on Tue Oct 03 2006 - 13:39:16 CDT
