Mladen,

I have seen many environments where the scheduling of the rman backups
was done outside NB.
Either in cron, OEM or some other scheduler.

Most of the time this was done because the DBA wanted more control on
when the database backups would run and get a better visibility on
failures and such.
When using OEM it also makes sense to keep all jobs in 1 place for a
better overview.

Other reasons for not using the NB scheduler are that after the backup
another action needs to be triggered.
Which is easily done in OEM with cascading jobs or in some other third
party schedulers.


Kind regards,

Mladen,


Of course I am aware of that. I am also aware that these are
questions that any responsible system administrator must ask.
Frankly, I would be deeply concerned if I asked to have a tool
like this installed and there were no questions asked.

I am still perplexed about using NB with crontab. I don't understand
why was it done that way? The SA should have asked the question
about that, too.
