Steps to Setup RMAN
This article is tested in oracle10gR2. How do we setup the RMAN in oracle? There are couple of ways, we can setup the RMAN. We can use control file to store backup catalog info or we can have seperate database to store catalog info. Here i am using seperate database to store backup catalog information.
 You might ask a question yourself, why would we need RMAN backup? Why do we need to setup RMAN, since my traditional backups are already running fine.... I already discussed this in another thread.. Please see this link to answer your question. Click

I am using windows OS. Please remember, the directories and folder might change based on the operating system and environment. But the below steps are pretty much same for any environmnet.

Here i am using ORCL as primary database and CATDB as catalog database.

Step1
Enable the archive log in ORCL database. I already discussed this in another thread. Please refer this link to enable the database to archive log mode.

Step2
Create the tablespace and user in catalog database to hold backup information.

SQL> CONNECT sys/password@catdb AS SYSDBA
Connected.

SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE RMAN
2 DATAFILE 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\CATDB\RMAN01.DBF' SIZE 6208K REUSE
3 AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 64K MAXSIZE 32767M
4 EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
5 SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;

Tablespace created.

SQL> CREATE USER rman IDENTIFIED BY rman
2 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
3 DEFAULT TABLESPACE rman
4 QUOTA UNLIMITED ON rman;

User created.

SQL> GRANT connect, resource, recovery_catalog_owner TO rman;

Grant succeeded.

SQL>

Step3
 Create the recovery catalog in catalog database.

C:\>rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb

Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu May 21 09:59:26 2009

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN> create catalog tablespace "RMAN";

recovery catalog created

RMAN> exit

Recovery Manager complete.

C:\>

Step4
 Register the database with Catalog database. Each database should be registered to catalog database to run RMAN backup.

C:\>rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb target=sys/password@orcl

Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu May 21 10:02:01 2009

connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1215124933)
connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN> register database;

database registered in recovery catalog
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN> exit

Recovery Manager complete.

C:\>

Step5
Configure the persistent parameters.

C:\>rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb target=sys/password@orcl

connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1215054467)
connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN> configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN> configure default device type to disk;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN> configure channel device type disk format 'C:\rmanbackup\Backup%d_DB_%U_%S
_%P';

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'C:\rmanbackup\Backup%d_DB_%U_%S_%P'
;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN>

Step 6
Take database full backup. The full database backup should be taken first time. Afterwards, archivelog backup will be taken.

C:\>rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb target=sys/password@orcl

connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN> run{
2> backup database plus archivelog;
3> delete noprompt obsolete;
4> }

starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

Now the RMAN setup is completed successfully. Here are the info about RMAN.

Primary DB = ORCL
Catalog DB = CATDB
RMAN Backup location = c:\rmanbackup.

Now the full backup is taken. Every day, the below script should run and backup the new archive log files.

C:\>rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb target=sys/password@orcl

How do we schedule the daily backup in Windows OS?

We need to write two script, one is batch file(named as daily_backup.bat) which should contain the following command.

rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb target=sys/password@orcl cmdfile daily_backup.sql

Another one is text file(named as daily_backup.sql) which should contain the following code.

run
{
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
}

The batch file(daily_backup.bat) can be run manually, by double-clicking on it, or scheduled using the Scheduled Tasks Wizard (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks). The above two windows scripts are tested in windows environment and works well.

How do we schedule the daily backup in Unix?

Here we need to write shell script and schedule the shell script in unix scheduler(crontab).

The shell script content should be like this....... Please remember, the below shell script is not tested in unix environment. Please do test yourself in unix environment.... This is sample shell script...

export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ALIAS=orcl
cd =/usr/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin
rman catalog=rman/rman@catdb target=sys/password@orcl <<
run
{
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
}
exit
EOF
