Good catch Joel: If you look at the page from oracle I cited above ( aka http://www.oracle.com/database/product_editions.html ) you get the words ...
Server Managed Backup and Recovery
Simplify, automate, and improve backup and recovery performance with
Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN).
That's where I picked up that oracle was perhaps talking about all rman stuff. But what you said also makes sense ... maybe they are saying with XE that you can't do it thru the OEM GUI?
However the words ... "such as applying the correct backup file when recovery is needed." make me think of rman ( or sqlplus in cases ) after a recover database or restore type of command is given.

It's all pretty academic to me since mostly EE here and pretty much XE is unsupported from the get go ( well I guess you can maybe upgrade from one XE version to another one every once in a while if you consider that supported ). Received on Mon Apr 27 2009 - 15:47:21 CDT
