I suppose just how much redundancy makes you sleep well is up to you. But, one additional bit of info to keep in mind is that the backup info also gets stored in the control files, and rman can use those too if no catalog database is available. Making a copy of a control file after the backup

I do not think you need 2 Rman catalogs. Build a small database just for Rman. After the daily backup finished bring it down and do os level backup of all the environment for this small backup. You can then easily restore it in case of disk problems. Remember: A backup is good only when you can

Brian - Hopefully Robert will have a chance to respond to your question, but if I might make some suggestions, I think your recovery time has two components: 1. If the backup files are not on disk, the time to locate the tape, load the files. 2. RMAN recovery time. I think you will just have
