Backup Destination and Operation for RMAN:

The management server has three backup points

available for RMAN backups. RMAN backup destinations are:

On Microsoft Windows:

%ORA_HOME%\rman\current
%ORA_HOME%\rman\backup1
%ORA_HOME%\rman\backup2

On UNIX systems:

$ORACLE_HOME/rman/current
$ORACLE_HOME/rman/backup1
$ORACLE_HOME/rman/backup2

The schedule backup writes in backup1 and backup2 folder in rotation and save now backup from

the management server keeps overwriting in current folder. See

” on page 238 for more information about RMAN backups.

described in ”
