Im new to this forum as well as RMAN setup. I would like here experts advise regarding RMAN setup for Datawarehouse enviornments.

1. Is it advisable to you Oracle 10g RMAN for DW ( Size 2 Plus TB) database?
2. What is best strategy?
3. I gone through Oracle RMAN documentation but some of the specific feature/option is not explained clearly. Where can i get Parallelism how it works? Image copy? which is best at what situation etc?
4. 160 GB database with compress backupset with oracle suggested backup taking more than 3 hours? what is the best way to reduce the online backup using above features?

Thanks in advance
