Recovery Manager (RMAN). Needless to say, you can create many different types of
backups using RMAN and leverage the many features new to Oracle Database 11g to

RMAN supports a number of backup methods that can be used according to

downtime you can endure while the database or a part of the database is involved
in a recovery operation. You’ll learn more about configuring and using recovery in
