Getting Started with RMAN - Oracle
docs.oracle.com › cd › E11882_01RMAN backs up data to the configured default device for the type of backup requested. By default, RMAN creates backups on disk. If a fast recovery area is enabled, and if you do not specify the FORMAT parameter (see Table 2-1 ), then RMAN creates backups in the recovery area and automatically gives them unique names.
Connecting to Databases with RMAN - Oracle
docs.oracle.com › cd › B10501_01Start RMAN with the PIPE option, and specify TIMEOUT = 0. For example, enter: % rman PIPE abc TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt TIMEOUT = 0 RMAN reads the commands that were put on the pipe and executes them by using DBMS_PIPE.PACK_MESSAGE and DBMS_PIPE.SEND_MESSAGE. When it has exhausted the input pipe, RMAN exits immediately.
