Re: RMAN doubts

The database 'may' be in NOARCHIVELOG mode 1. Its a 300 GB database and RMAN picks up only the USED blocks to might save

   time and disk space for disk backup
2. We back up directly to tape. So if done through RMAN, we need not keep

   inventory of tapes as RMAN/Legato would maintain it internally 3. I understand that with RMAN, even if database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode

   still it would allow incremental backups which would mean saving of time. -Rahul
