The DBID is also kept by the controlfile. You can see this by connecting to
rman nocatalog and then connect to your target. Here is what you will get:
$ rman nocatalog
Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
Copyright (c) 1995, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
RMAN> connect target
connected to target database: REF3DEV (DBID=2000332275) using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
RMAN> You can see that the DBID is returned when you connect to the target in noncatalog mode.
HTH,

Subject: RMAN DBID
I'm finally replacing the backup scripts we use for our databases with RMAN and am looking for any tips from people that have been using it for a while.
First off, if you're not using a recovery catalog where should you store the DBID. I hate to think I wouldn't be able to restore a DB because I forgot to update a spreadsheet. I'm also looking at including it in the backup tag, but wanted to get some info from the list before setting anything in stone.
Thx, Dave
