RMAN Executable

The RMAN executable, usually named rman, is the program that manages all backup and recovery operations. You interact with the RMAN executable to specify backup and recovery operations you want to perform.

Note

You don’t need an extra license for RMAN; it comes as a standard utility included with an Oracle 8.0.x, Oracle8i, or Oracle9i installation.

The executable then interacts with the target database, starts the necessary server processes, and performs the operations that you requested. Finally, the RMAN executable records those operations in the target database’s control file and the recovery catalog database, if you have one.
