Having experienced SQL*BackTrack, EBU, and RMAN.....

Yes RMAN is getting better (anyone else remember the nightmare called EBU). Yes RMAN still sucks.

Yes RMAN is still free (get what ya pay for)

SQL*BackTrack - Slicker than Owl S...

Have the $$$$$, use SQL*BackTrack.

Have no $$$$$, write a ksh script.

Want to build your resume, use RMAN.

You already have the investment in SQL*BackTrack licensing, so why not continue the few dollars it takes to buy support.

Flame on....

We have been using SQL Backtrack for backup and recovery for about 6 years now. We are being pressured to start using RMAN because it is free. Makes sense but I am wondering about reliability, complexity, learning curve, etc...

Has anyone had experience with both products or anyone new to RMAN that can give me an idea of what to expect?

Thanks!

Ron
