It was me not Omegamark who posted the last one Sambavan.
Thanks for your guidance, though.
I feel I would be more in Control if I backed up on my own instead of using RMAN.

Raminder, thanx for pointing the "post note" mistake. RMAN is a better tool and you would get to know the best of it when you do a recovery. My advice would be to create two test instances and try out on them. There are sample scripts under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo *.rcv *.sh which you can make use to start with.
My thanks to FARRUKH for pointing out the mistake in the directory location. Earlier it was $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin. Made the correction now.

RMAN scripts "*.rcv" are under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo directory.

i am finding it easy to handle backups when I use rman with legato and with veritas backup exec. I criscrossed the catalog as I have two servers. if you do not have catalog also, if your version is 816 and above you have some new commands that help recover.look into them.Rman helps a lot.
the way it copies the written blocks helps reduce the time and space.
