Hello All,


i've just recently discovered RMAN, and would like to ask the resident gurus for some clarification B)


Let's say i want to back up ORCL using RMAN, using ORCL itself for the RMAN catalog. If something happens to the db, then i wouldn't be able to use the RMAN catalog for restore/recovery, right?




Would this setup work:


1.) Set ORCL as the target db *and* catalog
2.) Set up regular RMAN backups
3.) Export the RMAN user schema along with the RMAN db backup


Then, for restore, i would

1.) set up a new db
2.) restore the RMAN backup files to the proper location(i.e. same setting as the original db)
3.) Create rman_bkp along with the required roles/grants
4.) Recreate tablespace for catalog
4.) Run CREATE CATALOG ...
5.) import using userid=rman_bkp fromuser=rman_bkp touser=rman_bkp
6.) Run RMAN, perform RMAN recovery



(i guess i'm too stingy to set up a separate db for the RMAN catalog B)


tia

Don't use the database you backup as the catalog database, it is a non-sense.

believe me, i learned that the hard way; i guess it's the price you pay for not reading the manual thoroughly B). good thing it was on a test db.

right now i just set up a very small db on my pc as catalog backend.
