We have 1 development box, 1 test database, and one production database all 
about 10 GBs each. I am the sole Oracle person on the team. My background is 
more on the developer side than DBA side. 

I was considering using RMAN without a recovery catalog to handle backups. Is 
there much risk in this? Other than multiplexing control files and backing them 
up what other precautions should I take? We don't have a tape or offsite backup 
system in place yet either. Hoping to get one soon. 

I want to keep this rather simple.
