First post in the Oracle community.
My site currently has RMAN backups scheduled and uses HP Data Protector. The two aren't integrated (Data Protector is simply backing up the RMAN file to a second location). My question is, what is the advantage of integrating the two? Does it just allow RMAN to be controlled through Data Protector, or are there other benefits? The only documentation I can find points to how to do it, but offers no explanation as to why you would do so.
I'm trying to convince my Systems Admin that the two should be integrated and he wants to know the reason to do so.
Thanks in advance!
