Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RMAN - Local vs. central backup script
We use RMAN on Oracle9i to back up to disk. No SAN or MML, but use an RMAN
catalog. I use cron to initiate the backup (Unix servers). In revising the
system, I'm trying to decide whether it is better to use the cron on each
server, or just trigger backups centrally, from servers where the RMAN
catalogs reside. It seems like most of the advantages go to the local
script. You are always running the same RMAN executable as the database. Has
anyone else looked at this issue and care to share any thoughts?
