    RMAN and Incremental Backups.

    When performing incremental backups with RMAN, how does RMAN determine which blocks have changed since the last backup? Is this reliant upon the actual backup peices or the metadata related to this stored in the recovery catalog or control file? Thanks.

    Way to see if registry Key exists

    With the Scripting.FileSystem object, one can check to see if a file actually exists before trying to open it. Is it possible to examine the registry for a particular keyname to see if it exists? Everything I've seen and done at this point assumes that the key exists. Thanks. Errol Neal
