Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RMAN - To Catalog or not to catalog, that is the question
We are getting ready to start using RMAN on several new 9i Linux
databases.
I guess the first question would be is RMAN really that much better then
using home grown dynamic hot backup scripts? We have developed these
for our Oracle/NT environment and they seem to work fine.
The second question would be should we use a recovery catalog? The
catalog seems to add a lot of complexity to the setup and to a disaster
recovery plan.
Thanks!
