Okay, I'll bite. What do you mean about a "separate project for verifying
backups". It reminds me of the ending to the movie "Indiana Jones" - "we
have a team of top experts working on that", you know, the scene where
they're packing the ark away in an enormous warehouse.

I for one, don't use RMAN for that. It's too much work.
There's a separate project for verifying backups.
The databases I'm called on to duplicate have lately been 400-500
gigs, more than I want to pull from tape unless absolutely necesssary.
It's much faster to plug two servers into a gigabit switch and
copy the files across a private network at approx 100 gigabytes
per hour.

Subject: RE: URGENT: Trying to duplicate database from cold
backup - auxi
Robert - What I've done over the years is tie the creation of test
databases
to backup verification. The old issue of how can you trust your backups
unless you've done a recovery. It has seemed that I get a request to build
a
test database at about the right interval to periodically verify the
backup.
It is nice to say that I would just periodically verify the backups, but
like most DBAs, there is always a more pressing task.
With RMAN, I assumed that I would continue this practice. It has been a
pain, but I ended up with a method that works. The biggest problem is that
when the test database is recovered, it initially has the same name as the
production database, then I change the name.
I would be interested how other sites that rely on RMAN handle this
issue.
