This is an indispensable resource for all DBAs.


Reviews
"This is one of the most useful Oracle books I've had an opportunity to read (for the past 11 years, since I started working with Oracle5, I collected more than 70 Oracle books -- more or less everything useful published on the subject). It offers an in-depth overview of Oracle architecture, RMAN utility, configuration of various third-party tools and number of real-life case studies with detailed step-by-step explanations (these case studies resemble 'labs' in super-expensive Oracle courses). It's a useful book for every level and definitely one of the best-written Oracle books on the market."
-- Oracle User

"This book is an invaluable supplement to the Oracle RMAN documentation. It serves two audiences well: if you're just beginning to learn RMAN or need to configure RMAN with a media management tool like VERITAS, Legato, etc. Robert includes some great diagrams that really clarify what occurs during different RMAN operations. For the beginner, Robert includes many tips for things that aren't covered well in the Oracle documentation that can really trip up a beginner. I sure wish this book had been published earlier when I was struggling to learn RMAN from just the Oracle documentation. If you are beyond the basics, there is plenty of advanced material to configure RMAN at a large enterprise. If you're still running Oracle8i, Robert describes how to adapt the material back to Oracle8i."
