How does RMAN take backup?
RMAN performs backups on the target database , and the client is the application that manages backup and recovery for the target database. RMAN uses a media manager API to work with backup hardware. A user can log in to Oracle RMAN and command it to back up a database. RMAN will then copy the files to the directory specified by the user.
Can not recover table from RMAN backup?
Answer: You cannot recover a single table using RMAN directly, but you need to restore into a TEST database and then use export (data pump expdp) to extract the single table. After a RMAN restore into a TEST database you can also create a database link and copy the table into the target database using CTAS.
Does RMAN backup unused blocks as well?
In Oracle 10g Release 2 RMAN does not backup unused blocks (empty blocks below the High watermark). This new feature is called UNUSED BLOCK COMPRESSION.

This means RMAN will never backup the blocks that are ever used.

What is the recovery window in RMAN?
RMAN Recovery Window Retention Policy It is always important to have backups of the database.
