Re: FW:Using Oracle tools to automate hot backups...

!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!

We use rman here. I have used it using the OEM Backup Manager but I find it more convenient to run it from the OS. I schedule jobs on OEM to run the server commands and let the agent take care of it.

HTH,
Ruth
