No, rman will not mess up your data.  It will probably tell you that the
backup was done in one NLS_LANG and the database you are restoring too has
another NLS_LANG.  That is why they tell you to set it just in case.

Thanks.

Now I understand what "NLS_DATE_FORMAT" doing, but I
still don't understand why "NLS_LANG" require?

If I don't put "NLS_LANG", will RMAN recovery mess up
my data?

Anyone have ideal?
