Well, everything depends on your situation. RMAN is definitely the future. It is getting really popular, but many sites have the traditional operating-system based methods working fine so have little inducement to change.

Do you have many servers or anticipate adding servers in the future? RMAN is good at managing B&R for many servers, so that will return your investment in time learning it.

If you anticipate being a DBA for a long time, then learning it can add to your resume.

Can't help you with Galaxy CommVault. Someone this list recommended starting by backing RMAN to disk as a way to get familiar with it, and that is what I am doing.

Can anyone advise what the most popular solutions are being used nowadays for database backup and recovery. I would imagine that RMAN is a cornerstone of most, if not all solutions. Anyone out there using Galaxy CommVault?.

Would seasoned folk be so kind as to state what solutions (Oralce and or 3rd party) they have found to be a robust tried and tested solution.
