We are using TDP for Oracle with RMAN. There were problems expiring backups
but that was fixed in the latest release of TDP. TDP for Oracle guide was
the only document I read in addition to searching through the list to
configure it. In other words it is quite easy to configure. I am not sure
how well the restore process will be since I did not have an opportunity to
do one yet, fortunately.

All,

We are evaluating different products to backup oracle database online,
testing SQL-backtrack for oracle from BMC and some other products.
We don't have any information on TDP as such how does it work and how
complex it is to configure with RAMN. If anyone out there using TDP.. Can
you please share your experience about this product and   issues involved
in it?
About sqlbacktrac:  One of the consultant   told us that whenever you
change oracle version or apply patch to oracle SQL-backtrack breaks and
won't work until BMC releases new patch for it .

Thanks
SD
