OCM 11g Preparation - Create different types of RMAN backups to cater for different performance and retention requirements

Backup is an art. It's very important to check the SLA and create a total failure recover plan whenever you setup a new DB instance.

If you are a OCP, you must already know that. So, in this topic, practice creating backups:

• Backup full / incremental
• If Incremental, diferential / cumulative
• Compressed in different levels
• Setup retention to Windows or Redundancy (or Keep Forever)
• Recover copy of database (useful to fast switch to a backup and then recover)
• Define disk rate / minimize load / etc
