Recovery Manager
Oracle's native backup and recovery framework for physical database backup, restore, validation, and recovery workflows.
Technical Context
RMAN understands Oracle block structure and recovery metadata, enabling incremental backups, block recovery, validation, cataloging, and point-in-time workflows. Backup success alone is insufficient; restore and recovery procedures must be rehearsed against defined RPO/RTO objectives.
