Release 2 saw the release of this tool which aims to remove
the need for 3rd party media management tools when writing
backups directly to tape. It can also be used to back up
the host file systems and so provides a one-stop shop for
all the server’s backup needs.
RMAN
- Encrypted Backups:
Now
you can encrypt backups using passwords or other forms of
transparent wallet-based encryption.
Flashback
Enhancements:
You
can now flashback the database through a resetlogs operation.
This is especially useful with Standby databases as it means
you can flashback to before an activate command was issued.
You can also set up guaranteed restore points which tell
Oracle to make sure it has enough flashback data to go back
to a particular SCN.
