RE: RMAN - Remote vs Local Backups

Just a thought.  Possibly to assist in recovery of the database box.  If you have a complete media failure on the DB host, you greatly simplify the recovery process if your RMAN database is somewhere safe.

Hi,

 

Can anyone think of a reason(s) why one WOULD want to backup a database from a box other than the database box itself? Are there any advantages to this kind of configuration?

 

For example:

 

Box-A (production db server)

Box-B (rman db server)

 

A cron job runs on Box-B which backups up the database from Box-A.

 

 

Thanks in advance!
