I have this argument all the time. It's always when the ibm people who
manage the servers/filesystem backups try to sink their claws in a little
deeper. It comes down to philosophy. Should the DBA who is ultimately
responsible for the database be the person who performs the
backup/recoveries and understands rman at a command line level. Or, should
it be the tape backup person using the gui to perform backup/recoveries and
when rman squacks about something being wrong is going to ask for your
assistance anyways. The person running the veritas netbackup will have no
idea what oracle is or how rman interfaces with oracle. All they will know
is that they can perform backups/recoveries of oracle using their tool.
