CHAPTER7

RMAN Backups

This chapter is all about backing up your Oracle database with RMAN. This chapter is largely tactical and not strategic. Therefore, we show you the various options available when using the RMAN backup command. We also show you the different types of backups you can perform when using the RMAN backup command.

Continuing the chapter preview the next thing we will do is show you how to do backups (and provide best practices revolving around the backup command where it makes sense), but we save the more strategic topics for Chapter 15, including where you should put your backups and designing a multitiered backup strategy.
