If you don't actually want to restore your database or clone it to a previous 
point in time to a different server, RMAN validate backup + restore preview 
functionality might satisfy management's requests.

Ok, we just got hit with a "Are you testing your backups?" from senior 
administration.  We sometimes use copies to replace test or dev but they want a 
scheduled plan.  The first thing I mentioned was do you have enough space(some 
db's are over a 1T)?  Do you have matching hardware sitting around that I can 
drop my db's onto?  Licensing $$$$?  What do you as a community do to satisfy 
or comply with this?
ciao,
Brian
