It??™s far better to discover that recovery
is slow or impossible in test situations than after your business has been impacted
by the failure of a production system.

Oracle Secure Backup provides support for more than 200 different kinds of tape
drives. Secure Backup also provides Netwrok Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
support for network attached storage (NAS), Virtual Tape Library (VTL) support,
policy-based management, storage classification, dynamic drive sharing, certificatebased
authentication, and the ability to create encrypted backups.
Of course, there remain a wide variety of alternative solutions available providing
Oracle backup solutions. Oracle continues to maintain the Oracle Backup Solutions
Program (BSP) such that partners can certify their products to perform backup and
recovery for tape storage devices using RMAN. A current list of these solutions is
posted on the Oracle Technology Network web site.
Information Lifecycle Management
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) provides a means to define classes of data,
create storage tiers for the data classes, create data access and data movement policies,
and implement data compliance policies.
