RE: 10g rac backup

Hi Randy,

Oracle 10g allows you to write your backups to the Flash Recovery Area by
default, _wherever_ it may be. I believe the docs  do NOT say that the FRA
needs to be an ASM disk (if so, can you point out where they say that?). Are
you using ASM for your data/other files? The FRA _can_ be a shared
filesystem btw - just make sure that you set a reasonable value for
db_recovery_file_dest_size (default 2 Gb), taking into account all other
uses of FRA (Flashback database, logs, archive logs (by default), as well as
RMAN).

I see that you copied in IOUG-RAC SIG - Wondering how the traffic is over
there (and our old buddy Murali Vallath).

Hope this helps,

Subject: 10g rac backup

I am setting up backup for a 10g RAC with 4 blades using rman.  
I want to send the backup set to disk first and then have the sa guys come
in later to move the backup set to tape.  

This way, I can bring down the db when no one is one it and they sa guys can
move me to tape when they have the time.

To send the backup set to tape, the docs advise to create a Flash Recovery
Area with ASM.  Here now is my issue:  since the backup set is on ASM, no
backup software can see it.  If I skip the Flash Recover Area, does the
backup run only on 1 blade?
