RE: Backing up RMAN catalog database

Fred,

The traditional (Oracle suggested) way is to have a second Rman catalog
on a different database server.  This catalog is used by the first Rman
database.

Another way is to simply export the Rman catalog when no backups are
running and save the export file someplace safe.

Either way works as long as it is documented.

Subject: Backing up RMAN catalog database

Hello

I am curious how those of you that use an RMAN catalog go about backing
it 
up.

I'm running Netbackup 5.1MP7 and backup 5 databases to a master server.
My 
rman catalog database is on a separate server. Do you backup the catalog

database to the same master server?
Do you simply connect with the target being the rman catalog (and no 
connection to a catalog database)?

Are there any issues with backing up the catalog database to the same
master 
server?

Thanks!
