Have I covered everything ?
I'm setting up rman to replace our old user managed backups... Linux w/ 10.2.0.4
Daily cron of a shell script that will...
run rman (nocatalog) with a command file,
checks logs for errors,
check for any entries V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION,
sends backups files to tape (only most recent copies stay on disk),
checks tape log for errors...
Here's the rman command file... I tried not to use "implicite" commands...
CONNECT TARGET /
set echo on;
# Keep backups listed in the controlfile repository as being usable for 365 days. Max tape history is currently 14 days.
