Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RMAN in NOCATALOG mode?
Denham
Whether you need to back up the control file depends on whether you can recover the database without it. On Oracle8i, I gave up trying to extract the controlfile from the RMAN backup, and simply back the controlfile up after the backup completes. Others on this list have reported they were able to extract the controlfile from the RMAN backup. I believe that on Oracle9i this is much improved. The important thing is that you validate your backup regularly because an untested backup can't be trusted.

Hello
Wondering about this. If backing up the database with RMAN in NOCATALOG
mode.
When would be the best time to do backup of the controlfile? Before backup /
after backup /before and after backup.
Does this aid your recovery from a crash? What advantage would it have?
Many Thanks
Regards
