    Hello all,

    I know Oracle recommends the creation of a recovery catalogue when backing up a database using RMAN. However, i wanted to ask what method, Controlfile or Recovery Catalogue, enables backups to finish faster??. Any input much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I would expect that the control file method might, but the difference would be so small compared to an overall backup time that I wouldn't worry about it.

    You might like to think about how long a restore would take if you lost the control file(s) you were using as a catalog. ie. forever.
