Hi,

We're setting up RMAN and configuring our environment.  We are on
Oracle 10gR2.  I'm having trouble understand these commands:

CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
PARALLELISM 20;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/disk1/ora_df%t_s%s_s%p';

They both specify disk.  But, can they be combined into one command?
The documentation is really not specific on this.  They show different
variants of the above, but I did not find anything on a combination of
the commands.  If we can do it in one command, it makes more
sense......

Thank you.

If you seehttp://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsyn...
you can configure different formats for different channels (for
different backup pieces and one backupset)
while "parallelism" and "compressed backupset" are "global" settings
for a backup set
you can configure different settings for different channells that
write different backup sets.
Hope this helps.

You know, I read someplace that it is good to put each datafile in its
own backup piece.  Their reason was that when performing partial
restore the files are smaller to read and the restore will be quicker.

Is there any truth to this?

I almost posted this, but held my tongue because of all the site-
specific permutations possible. It's true for me, I limit the files
to 4, and the size of my datafiles to 2G. It can be particularly true
if you are searching for certain archived logs among many, but that's
a whole 'nother kettle of worms. I originally limited the files to 7,
but in a version long ago that gave PGA issues, so went to 4. (I'm
reconsidering this as I convert to 10g, and haven't really settled on
an exact configuration yet.)

Also see the Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's
Guide section about tuning RMAN performance, large_pool_size made a
big difference for me, at least in earlier versions on my
configuration, and I've kept it for 10g.

Hardware and OS does make a difference in these things.
