>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/29/03 12:54PM >>> 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.
