Debi,
I run a weekly restore validate to make sure the tapes are available and
working properly. Actually two runs a weekend - one for the database, and
one for the archivelog backup. gives me a warm fuzzy every Monday morning.

Soma - RMAN will only know about the disk backup since you aren't using a
media manager like Legato or Veritas. When it needs to recover, RMAN will
look to that spot on the disk and expect the correct file to be there. If
for some reason the version on disk is unusable and RMAN needs an older
If you are using a recovery catalog then rman keeps track of everything

Ruth,
I have a couple of questions

the morning and level 1 backups in the evening and night everyday using
RMAN...right.
You mentioned that you also take the backups (i.e level 0 and 2 level 1's
for a day )on tape every
Hi,
I am not sure... what your exactly plan to
do...
But,
You can configure RMAN to backup on DISK and use
some TAPE MANAGEMENT UTILITY or SYSTEM UTILITY (If it is there) to backup from
your DISK. Also that utility can delete after successful backup from DISK to
TAPE depending on
