Provides instructions for setting up a database backup and performing data recovery with the recovery manager (RM) that comes as part of the Oracle 9i database package. The authors first explain how to configure the RMAN recovery catalog and stream backups directly to tape using third-party media management software, then discuss catalog maintenance and performance tuning. The final section addresses the more advanced topics of database duplication and the real application cluster environment.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
