Rating:  - Great book
I recently picked up this book, and so far I have found it to be the most complete reference I've seen. It is very well written with lots of examples. I reported a minor problem in the text to the author, and he responded immediately. I will be carrying this book with me everywhere.
Rating:  - Some good RMAN examples
This book does a pretty good job of explaining RMAN features and offers some good ideas on how to make RMAN part of your day to day Oracle tool set. Some( all?) of the examples use 10gR2 syntax which will not work with 10gR1, so pay attention! Oracle is trying very hard to make RMAN be everything experienced and novice DBAs need from a comprehensive backup/recovery tool, as a result a book such as this that can simplify and clarify is money well spent.
