This book is amazing for new users of RMAN backup on Oracle 10.

It starts with an Oracle overview and gives excellent example scripts throughout.

The only drawback is it has entire chapters dedicated third-party applications that may not be applicable to some readers.

If you're looking to get your Oracle backups in order this is the book for you!
