I am setting up a disaster recovery site and I was thinking about the best way to do this. My theory is that I would like to not just use another recovery catalog on the DR site to backup my primary catalog but to somehow keep these catalogs constantly in-synch so when I do need to do complete recovery and only have the secondary rman catalog available - I wouldn't have to recover the catalog as all of the previous backups would be found there. So....should I do this using Oracle Data Guard on my disaster recovery site catalog or backup rman then restore as my first procedure? Any advice? =20 -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
