I use it, I think it's great. Runs faster (if you multi-thread it), doesn't put the tablespaces in hotbackup mode (doesn't freeze file header blocks), and checks for corruption.

Tim Gorman has a good paper on his website (http://www.evdbt.com/) :

Hi,

I'm in the process of upgrading my database to 9i and I was trying to decide whether I wanted to change my backup strategy to use RMAN. Do most of you use it? If you use it, what is your opinion of it? If you don't use it, why did you decide not to?
