Thanks, I did look through quite a few of the Google listings before I posted; what I was asking for were tutorials that someone here would personally recommend, i.e. the "best of the best". My apologies if I didn't make that clear.

some/many/most folks answering here have little use for tutorials RMAN or otherwise

When all else fails, Read The Fine Manuals

Thanks, I'll have a look at the wiki. I did look at the official Oracle docs, but they're definitely suited to a higher level of familiarity than I've got. I was looking for something geared more towards the RMAN beginner.

If you find the wiki lacking, you are encouraged to enhance to be more to your liking.

Thank you! It looks like there's more than enough for me to chew on for a while.

A followup: I found the "rman_for_beginners.html" tutorial at front-row-seat.com to be very good. Everything was laid out step-by-step; very straightforward and easy to follow. Good diagrams in the "rman restore" section.

The pages on psoug were a bit heavy for me. I did find their oracle error listing helpful: psoug.org/oraerror

The orafaq.com/wiki/Recovery_Manager page was also helpful. More examples would be a good thing to have on the page but I imagine most people here (unlike me) are experienced enough not to need them.

In any case, thank you for the recommendations on tutorials.

Here are some commands you can try on a scratch database to get you going. Don't try anything in production until you really know what you are doing.
