Dear List, I need some suggestions for RMAN. For a quite sometime I have seen numerous mails regarding RMAN.
We have 2 Production Databases located at different sites. We use RMAN to backup the databases. Daily incremental backups(Archivelogs, ControlFiles,parameter files, password file) Weekly Full backup(Datafiles,Archivelogs, ControlFiles,parameter files, password file). the backup are successfully tested in a development m/c and till date we didn't face any probs till date. But we are not using "Catalog Database" for storing the information. Instead we are using the target database's control file. We have also stimulated the recoveries based on the above. I want to know whether it is "mandatory" or "advisble" to use RMAN with or without a catalog database. Any views, suggestions are welcome.
