I have used RMAN both with and without the catalog. It is easy to adapt the tutorials to not using the catalog. Three easy steps:
1. When the instructions say to create the catalog, skip that step. 2. When the instructions say to connect to the catalog, skip that step. 3. When the instructions give a query against the catalog, skip that step.Get the picture?
Other than that, nearly everything else works. Actually if you are using a catalog, RMAN still stores backup information in the control file.
Since you are more dependent on the control file doing backups this
way, I would recommend that you make extra backups of the control
file. In your backup script you can execute a SQL statement ALTER
SYSTEM BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO . . .
As you become comfortable with RMAN, re-evaluate whether you should be
using a catalog. It's not difficult either. With RMAN it is easy to
have some misconceptions that send you down the wrong direction.
