Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Backing up RMAN catalog database
Thank you for the link. In it is says "When backing up the recovery catalog
database, you can use RMAN to make the backups", does that mean to use the
rman executable on the catalog database server and write to a tape on the
master mml server? (I guess preferrably to a separate tape pool than the
other backups).
