I appreciate this Ronald. We are not running a catalog however, but rather using the control file. Will this cause a problem? Also, would this need to run on the machine here or at DR? Right now the connection is a 24K dial-up. (This is being improved to a T1 which is not installed yet.) So I am a little concerned about how data is being transfered, as I said, I have tapes down there, imported into the local backup server, but that means they are not available here. (Never underestimate the bandwith of a trunk full of mag tapes. Albeit, theres a terrible latentcy problem. :^)

Off to lookup 'auxiliary channel' and 'duplicate' commands.
