Dennis,
I find it just as easy to have a standard Rman cron script and simply have
it installed on each box. Cron runs on each box and schedules the backup
accordingly.
Obviously, if you have something like Tivoli Workload Scheduler, it would be
easier to control the backups from one place - this simply runs the shell
script on each machine.
To me, its 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. We telnet to each machine
as needed.
Hope this helps.
Tom

Subject: RMAN - Local vs. central backup script
We use RMAN on Oracle9i to back up to disk. No SAN or MML, but use an RMAN
catalog. I use cron to initiate the backup (Unix servers). In revising the
system, I'm trying to decide whether it is better to use the cron on each
server, or just trigger backups centrally, from servers where the RMAN
catalogs reside. It seems like most of the advantages go to the local
script. You are always running the same RMAN executable as the database. Has
anyone else looked at this issue and care to share any thoughts?
