RE: RMAN impact

1. you can parallelize or limit it on the backup
2. You can virtual restore your backup just taken to validate everything is ok.
3. You can direct rman to use the Large pool

We have used it on hoards of databases and have not had a problem.  

Pinning the rman packages is the latest thing I saw help.  

Oh... if you do it to tape... I found it's lots of fun but doing it to disk gives us 99.999 percent success.

Thanks, Chris! Database version would be 10g R1.

        what version of oracle?         

        you can limit the resources used by rman to some extent in 9i but 10g

        gives you more options.         

        i don't think there is an answer for the question you are asking.
