Things to consider when performing off host backup with RMAN?

Hi everyone


We are working on switching to off host RMAN backups in the near future.

It's going to work like this:

1) We have a catalog per database. Each instance has a different username on the catalog database. The instance is aptly named rmancatalog.

2) snapshots of the database datafiles and OS are taken daily and mounted on a backup server.

3) Location of datafile on backup server is different than on primary host due to SAN constraints.

4) The OLTP databases are registered in the catalog.

This is how I picture this:

1) I will create symbolic links to match the backup server's paths with our OLTP database's path (/export/oracle/oradata -> /oracle/oradata)
