WE have the same suite what you have mentioned. We are backing up around 60
databases incremental and around 20 fulls everyday using RMAN. We do have
some occassional problems, But we are able to fix it.
I would suggest metalink would be first source for you to start. They have
put some excellent documents about setting up RMAN and getting around issues
with RMAN. That would be helpful. Once you start, Any issues you face we
can help you get thru(Presuming we know that error)

OK, I have avoided RMAN and hot backups for some years now. I have always
used my trusty scripts. Having come from the sysadmin side of dba, I prefer
backups/restores that I can control. I am leary of depending on RMAN, but I
have no choice b/c this 1tb db of blobs is just too big for full backups. I
need to do incremental backups using RMAN and Legato's Oracle Business
Suite.
Question: Has anyone used the aforementioned products together to do
incremental backups? And if so, any quick guide to set up and
configuration?
Thanks,
Gene
*Now Forced to use RMAN*
PS. The db is 950gb blobs. I am trying to get the vendor to put the blobs
on the filesystem where they belong, but they are a big informix shop and
like blobs in the db. I am building a case to remove the blobs. So far I
have:
1. Backup/restore window would shrink, as well as performance degradtion
during the backup window.
2. Db copies (e.g. for dev, test, web, ...) would be more managable.
3. Oracle upgrades would be more managable. I prefer exp/imp for upgrades.
Oracle's migrate utility is never clean. Besides, get a reorg out of an
upgrade.
Any other ideas I may have missed?
