We just purchased the TSM TDP for Oracle on NT/2K.

We installed it, only to realize it won't work since there is no sign of
RMAN.EXE on this machine?

So, the owner of this box/package contacts the vendor. Their response
was"Oracle is version 7.3.4, not 8i or 9i, which will not run with their
app. .... said the person she spoke to did not seem to know what RMAN
was....."

So, how does one backup an Oracle app/database, using the TDP without RMAN
?

I am not an Oracle person but even I know that RMAN is the utility to do
database backup/restore/maintenance !

Suggestions, anyone ?
