Re: RMAN impact

My main concern with CBT is that a block can sit on disk 'unread' for a long time, depending how often full/level 0 backups are made. And disks don't fail, except when they're mine.

In the good ol' days we were exporting databases to get blocks checked. With RMAN, the export became obsolete, because RMAN would read every block. Now RMAN stops reading every block, should we start exporting again?

Best regards,
