<div>The note is for older version and is not updated but it does provide
a very good explanation of RMAN concepts ( backup set, backup piece ,
retention , catalog, record_keep_time importance and various reporting
functionalities etc )</div>

<div>Further</div>
<div>It is&nbsp;better from 9i onwards to configure controlfile autobackup
on rather than manually taking the backup of controlfile</div>
<div>(neways&nbsp;in recent version ( &gt;= 9i ) controlfile &nbsp;is
always backed up when you take backup of file1 ...system datafile)</div>
