Does Oracle 19c catalog database compatible to 11g Databases

User_64RGX

We have several 11g databases and are planning to move backups to 19c catalog database. Looking at the compatibility chart it does show that 11g is compatible, However is that recommended or has there been an known issue with 11g db recover with this setup?

Dude!

The version of the recovery catalog schema must be greater than or equal to the version of the RMAN client.

If there was a recommendation from Oracle it would be in the documentation. For what it's worth, nobody has been reporting otherwise here in the RMAN forum, at least not for the past several years I've been participation.

Hi,

in addition to what @Dude! said, here is a nice MOS note which gives a good overview of RMAN interoperability: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=73431.1
