I have created an Oracle 21c database to play with. In doing so, I tried to register it with RMAN and that failed:

oracle_at_vmora00a8:ORA21000>rman target / catalog rman_at_rmanprod

RMAN> exit

Obviously, RMAN wants the catalog upgraded to 21c. Since we back up Oracle 12.1, 12.2, 18, and 19 databases, my question is: Will upgrading the catalog to 21c impact the existing backups?

Thank you,
