Hello,
Can you please guide me on how to backup the Oracle RAC?
Oracle RAC is configured in Active/Active configuration. Each node has different Instance/DB configured.
Will the backup be the same in as normal Oracle DB, but only using the virtual IP?Will the restore differ in that case?
Thanks,
Robert

I've configured Oracle's RMAN backup many times but RAC. As I just read, it looks very similar to normal RMAN backups/restores. In the link bellow, from page 195 (Appendix A), you have all configuration process for different Oracle RAC installations as well as example scripts. As I saw is not that difficult and is good explaned.

Sorry, I can't help more as I'd like cause no experience with RAC but I hope it helps you.
