Re: Impact on running rman

we run archivelog backups hourly. That seems to me a candidate for duration

I take your point though.

I suppose there are circumstances where you might choose DURATION.

RATE however will ensure that your backups will finish, however slowly.

DURATION will interrupt and discard a backup that does not complete within
the specified window.
Personally I can't think of a situation where I would want to do that.

Why would you use it?
