We are planning a switch from Windows to Linux for our systems. As a result, we can no longer use Veritas Backupexec and must now switch to RMAN. Since we are NOT going to connect a tape drive to each server, what our my options for using a media manager. Veritas has a product called Netbackup that works with RMAN. Database is Oracle 9i. Are there other alternatives? Jeffrey Beckstrom Database Administrator Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority 1240 W. 6th Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113
