Michael Don't discount the possibility that they are just using Veritas to back up everything on the Oracle server. Not correct, but I've seen people that know nothing about Oracle do that.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 11:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I found no signs of RMAN being used in any way shape or form... I've been told they are doing "hot" backups using Veritas... HOWEVER, the alert log shows no signs what so ever of "alter tablespace xyz begin/end backup"... Can it do a good backup backing up live DB files and leaving no signs what so ever that backup took place. Is Veritas capable of this? If so, why is there a Veritas interface to RMAN??? Confusion, confusion...
