All - I was just given a database to maintain on Windows, does anyone have a basic RMAN backup script that I can alter to automate an RMAN backup on Windows? I usually work on Linux or Unix and not really familiar with scripting on a Windows server. Any advice on automating the script will be helpful too. Oracle 10.2.0.4 Windows Server 2003 SP2 Thanks in advance, Bill-- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
