The bible of RMAN

This study is embedded in save and back up approach. A full study about RMAN.
Recommendation for specialists , DBA Oracle.

Best book on market for RMAN and Backups
I like this a lot and together with the Oracle documentation, setting up and using RMAN is a snap compared to the pain it used to be to stumble with RMAN before. As a production DBA this is the best book so far since Velpuri wrote the original Oracle 8i backup and recovery book a decade ago. Throw away logical backups and hassle of SQL backups and use the power of RMAN. I was able to get cooking in a few hours with a good RMAN setup for our test and production database environments. Together with the Oracle 10g RAC book you have the complete knowledge to be a true HA Oracle DBA.

Good Stuff, Piece of Art
At that time I needed more information about Backup and Recovery and especially Recovery Manager (RMAN)and I ended up borrowing this book from the library. I read this book when I was working on my OCP 9i track in 2004. I then put my exam study guide aside and finish this book. The book is really good. The part that I like the most is the book gives you scenarios that are easy to understand and it shows RMAN in different environment interacting with other storage media. I will definitely recommend this book. A book like this one does not come along very often. I am planning to buy my own copy soon. Great Job RG I give 4 stars.
