Verify with TSM (Tivoli folks) for the details.... If you don't use LANFREE as you already know the backup TAKES way too long DH --- On Thu, 3/3/11, Mohammad Rafiq <rafiq9857@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Mohammad Rafiq <rafiq9857@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: LANfree Backup with RMAN To: "oracle list" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thursday, March 3, 2011, 5:49 PM Our B&R team suggesting to use LANfree backup for our larger Oracle databases (ver 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.r on Suse Linux10) sizes between 7 TB to 17TB. Our current setup is using TSM but we having issues for backing up larger databases. I could not find any doc on Oracle Metalink whether it works with RMAN or not Google search was not that much helpful. Any experience good and/or bad or any pointer for LANfree backup using RMAN.
