Rman and Data Guard

Hi,

Have anybody implemented RMAN for backup and recovery?

I am a little bit traditional and have been sticking to
Hot Backup, Cold Backup and Logical Backup. Never had a
chance to work on RMAN before.

Am Interested in implementing RMAN and Dataguard.

Appreciate your implementation experience inputs on these areas.

Thanks
Murali

RMAN: To learn it is to love it.

we use both, you need to set it up , read, read , read, test , test test, make sure sure it's in your comfort level when /if you decide to implement it
