Thanks to everyone for all the helpful information about Oracle, RMAN and
EBU.
Will dig into to see if they installed EBU on this server and dig up some
scripts/bat/cmd files to do the dumping/backup.

There is a program supplied with Oracle 7 called EBU.
What we are doing is to use EBU to backup the database to disk and then do
an archive of the backup.
It all works OK as long as you have the disk space.
We also have to do this with our Oracle 9 databases as TDP for that
version
is not yet available.

Subject: Oracle and TDP issues
We just purchased the TSM TDP for Oracle on NT/2K.
We installed it, only to realize it won't work since there is no sign of
RMAN.EXE on this machine?
So, the owner of this box/package contacts the vendor. Their response
was"Oracle is version 7.3.4, not 8i or 9i, which will not run with their
app. .... said the person she spoke to did not seem to know what RMAN
was....."
So, how does one backup an Oracle app/database, using the TDP without RMAN
?
I am not an Oracle person but even I know that RMAN is the utility to do
database backup/restore/maintenance !
Suggestions, anyone ?
