Hi list! What is the "best practice" to back up the recovery catalog in this case?
I'm backing up Oracle Databases (online) with Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle v2.2.1. I have created a recovery catalog in an another database on the same server as my target database (I know that it is not recommended to have a recoverycatalog at the same server as the targte database, but because of costs I have no other choice). Should I back up the recovery catalog online with TDPO, offline with TDPO or regular filebackup??? Should the database with the recoverycatalog have its own recoverycatalog? If so, can I use the target database (sounds little dangerous....) or should I create a new database to content the recoverycatalogs recoverycatalog? If so how should I back up the recoverycatalogs recoverycatalog? Should the recoverycatalog run in archive mode under all type of backups of the recoverycatalog? I'm new to Oracle and RMAN so I need some advice how to handle backup of the recoverycatalog....... Regards Sylvia Nerg�rd
