Guys, In order to manage and provide easier d/r for the oracle infrastructure = I have setup a centralized rman catalog and for redundancy another copy = of the same. Here is my concern: We are going to be installing a new instance of 10G on Linux. I = currently have my centralized RMAN running on Solaris - could I backup = the 10G databases on Linux with RMAN on Solaris - would I need to have = 10G RMAN on Solaris to make that happen?
