No, not unless you have a reason for doing so.  Like if these DB's
are for different applications or something like that.  It depends
on your DBA's requirements and how Oracle and RMAN is setup.

More complicated to do it with 3, so don't unless necessary.

I have 3 Oracle databases (DB1, DB2, DB3) that reside on SERVERA.  I'm
going to call the client SERVERA_ORA.  Should I point to 3 distinct
tdpo.opt files so I can create 3 distinct file spaces?

'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=.../DB1/tdpo.opt)'
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=.../DB2/tdpo.opt)'
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=.../DB3/tdpo.opt)'

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  thx.
