Also, if that is the type of recovery he wants then sell him on a standby database. If you lose your server that severely you will only be able to get back to the last backup regardless of where your recovery catalog is (hopefully on another server or at least backed up).
-----Original Message----- Killough Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 7:11 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have never tried to burn my servers to ash, but I usually try to put the rman catalog on a different server than the ones that it is backing up. You also need to backup the catalog, which I do w/ a nightly export. >From: DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RMAN disaster recovery >Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 06:25:23 -0800 > >I am wondering how RMAN would work for disaster recovery.
