Chapter 10. <strong>Oracle</strong> backup consider<strong>at</strong>ions on Windows 2000<br />

RMAN is the backup and recovery tool provided by <strong>Oracle</strong> for <strong>Oracle</strong>8 Server<br />

d<strong>at</strong>abases and is packaged with the <strong>Oracle</strong>8 Server product. RMAN manages<br />

the process of backing up, restoring, and recovering <strong>Oracle</strong>8 target d<strong>at</strong>abase<br />

instances. RMAN can autom<strong>at</strong>ically back up, restore, and recover the<br />

following d<strong>at</strong>abase objects:<br />

D<strong>at</strong>abase<br />

Tablespaces<br />

D<strong>at</strong>a files<br />

Control files<br />

Archived redo logs<br />

In addition to backup and restore oper<strong>at</strong>ions, RMAN can:<br />

Gener<strong>at</strong>e log records of all backup and recovery oper<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

Run backup and restore oper<strong>at</strong>ions in parallel to improve performance<br />

Find d<strong>at</strong>abase objects th<strong>at</strong> require a backup, on the basis of user-defined<br />

values<br />

RMAN provides the interface to the <strong>Oracle</strong>8 d<strong>at</strong>abase and the functions for<br />

backup, restore, and recovery. It does not provide any storage management<br />

capabilities and must be integr<strong>at</strong>ed with other storage management products<br />

such as TSM to provide a complete enterprise wide storage management<br />

solution.<br />

10.1 RMAN: <strong>Oracle</strong> Recovery Manager<br />

This section presents an overview of the architecture and the components<br />

involved in backing up <strong>Oracle</strong>8 d<strong>at</strong>abases with RMAN and TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong>. It<br />

is an introduction to RMAN and in particular how it integr<strong>at</strong>es with TSM. It is<br />

not an authorit<strong>at</strong>ive guide to RMAN or <strong>Oracle</strong>8 backup and recovery. This<br />

chapter should be read in conjunction with the <strong>Oracle</strong>8 Server Backup and<br />

Recovery Guide.<br />

10.1.1 RMAN system components<br />

RMAN consists of several components th<strong>at</strong> interact during the backup and<br />

recovery process. See Figure 47, “RMAN and TSM system components” on<br />

page 156.<br />
