RE: What are the common mistakes DBA do retarding backup & Recovery?

How about running an Rman backup to tape, Rman says it worked fine, and not attempting a restore. I've seen these fail because of MM problems. My running joke is that I can back anything up to tape via Rman. Proving I can restore it is what I really get paid for.

Subject: What are the common mistakes DBA do retarding backup & Recovery?  

Hello List,  

I would like hear from you about the common mistakes by most of the DBAs do regarding the backup and recovery. I would think of the following:  

1. Never testing their backups.
2. No good backup and recovery policies.
3. Afraid of using RMAN or Making benefits of RMAN

I would really like to know if there are any other points than what I specified above.
