RE: RMAN impact

Li,

As everyone else said, Rman does have an impact on the database. But how are you backing up your database now? The benefit of using Rman is the ease of performing backups an especially the ease of recovering from a loss. And, the database is up all the time rather than taking a cold backup.

Generally (to me) using Rman is all a bonus.

Subject: RMAN impact  

Hi, all,  

I just started to look into RMAN backup and recovery and have a question: for example, it takes 2 hours for RMAN to backup the database, how much impact will RMAN have on the database during this 2 hours? Will user be able to access the database during this 2 hours?  

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!

Regards,

-Li
