Hi,

  I have a regular hot backup setup on a server to copy files (rcp) to another server. I can also use rsh. I am moving to rman and would like to copy the backup to the same remote server. This is 8.1.7.4 on sunos 5.8.

I would be using basic rman like : allocate channel disk1 type disk format '/export/back/%d_backups/%U'. Is there a way to point disk to this remote file system and have rman use rcp/rsh for copy. Can someone help?

One way would be to rfs mount a file system but that would be limiting and also affect the server if rfs mounted file system is not available.

Thanks
