This is a new utility designed to automate some of the manual tasks involved in the backup and recovery of very large databases in particular. It does this by maintaining a recovery catalogue, which holds information required for backup and recovery and enables both the backup and recovery processes to be performed automatically.
The recovery manager can be used to back up the whole database, individual tablespaces or data files, or just changed blocks. Initially, the database files are backed up on to the disk as a backup set which can then be copied to tape.
The utility can also produce reports to show which data files are in need of a backup and which backup sets contain archived logs with a specified name and within a specified range.
