Recovery Manager (RMAN) is an Oracle database
client, which performs backup and recovery tasks
and automates administration of backup strategies.
It greatly simplifies the backing up, restoration,
and recovery of database files. RMAN handles all
underlying database procedures before and after
backup or restoration in order to reduce the possible
risk of data being lost. It provides a common interface
for backup tasks across different host operating
systems and offers features not available through
user-managed methods, such as parallelization of
backup/recovery data streams, a backup files retention
policy, and a detailed history of all backups.
RMAN is integrated with the database management
tools provided by SAP, such as BRBACKUP,
BRARCHIVE, BRRESTORE, and BRRECOVER.
Depending on the BR*Tools version and its patch
level, new RMAN functionality is integrated to
provide enhanced security, flexibility, and safety
