Oracle's backup and recovery tool is called Recovery Manager, or RMAN
for short. It's one tool that every database administrator absolutely
must know, and know well, because to lose a critical database can be a
job-ending event. RMAN Recipes is a task-oriented book providing
ready-made and example-based solutions to common (and some
not-so-common) backup and recovery operations. The authors respect their
reader's time. When the pressure's on, database administrators don't
have time for long discussions of theory. They need solutions, and right
now. RMAN Recipes delivers, getting right to the point with quick- and
easy-to-read, step-by-step solutions that database administrators can
implement with confidence.
