Re: RMAN with OEM poll

Hey Brian,

I personally use both OEM and RMAN to do backups at my site. I find OEM pretty useful for scheduling backups(NOT RESTORES) and scripts. Also, I like OEM because it is easier to train a novice (Jr. DBA) and maintain of scripts.

With a GUI tool like OEM you can centralize the scripts for both backups and other tasks. This will allow for easier management of Oracle related tasks.

Last point, OEM is not perfect and is not a magic bullet. But, I believe that it wins over a hand coded solution for long term maintenance.

my 2 cents worth...
