(...going on somewhat of a tangent ...)
But you need a template or shell script for each DB?
I've been confused by the NBU Oracle Admin Guide that says ...
: Because backup templates are stored on the server
: in a known location, server directed and scheduled
: backups will use the same copy of the template for
: each client in the policy client list.
since the templates (that we've created) are very specific to each DB.
Have I missed something? cheers, wayne
