Hi Kimberly, we are on 8.1.7. Like I said below, we are stuck with Arcserve
(and limited to 8.1.* because of that). However, I've decided to backup to
disk and then let Arcserve grab the datasets and write them to tape. I was
able to integrate rman and Arcserve but it was soooooo slow, and since
neither CA nor the sysadmin could tell me what is involved with backup by
proxy, I said thanks but no thanks.
I wish we could go to 9.x. I have a feeling it will be a while.
Good luck and happy hunting with 9! I'm jealous.
