Hi I am new to RMAN and now starting working on it. I got the inital task as to make sure that if RMAN backup is working fine. Can I run any script that can check the Catalog database and give me the result that it is going fine. RMAN is putting backup to Veritas Netbackup TIA Sanjay __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!
