I wouldn't trust any product with a feature list that includes 'Granular selection of individual databases Automatic truncation of transaction logs following backup Redirected database restore functionality ' makes sense if dealing with sqlserver, not with Oracle - unless you want to try 'ALTER LOG GROUP 1 TRUNCATE;' for example. If the marketing can't even use appropriate terminology, why would I trust the product with my data. cheers On 4/26/06, Charlotte Hammond <charlottejanehammond@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi All, > > My sysadmin's been trying to get my opinion on the > Yosemite backup agent for Oracle: > > http://www.yosemitetech.com/products/standard/applications/oracle.htm > > I can't find much on the site to tell me why I might > want to use this (eg instead of RMAN).
