Tuning RMAN backup and recovery operations is frequently an afterthought. If you run a full backup once a week and incremental backups daily, you might not think you’d need to optimize your backup and recovery operations because they take up only about 4 hours of your time every week. This logic seems to make sense, until the following events occur in your organization:

■ Your company expands its offices worldwide, users will be accessing the database at all times of the day and night, and you don’t want a backup operation reducing response time.

■ New applications increase demand for the tape library system.

■ Management demands improvements in the database recovery time to meet service-level agreements (SLAs).
