Title: Chapter 5: Recovering Using RMAN Backups
Course: DEPT MC - ORACLE DATABASE MANAGEMENT II > Section: Unit 1 - Database Administration II

I n this chapter, you will learn how to use RMAN in a recovery scenario. This is required if you have lost a noncritical datafile, a critical datafile, a control file, or possibly the entire database. This chapter addresses recovery scenarios for a database running in ARCHIVELOG mode. Of course, if it isn’t apparent by now, you should be running in ARCHIVELOG mode, considering all the advantages and the relatively few disadvantages presented in previous chapters. However, if you are not running in ARCHIVELOG mode, your recovery options are also presented as well as those for NOARCHIVELOG mode
