Oracle Backup and Recovery 101: where can I get more information?

Hey everyone. I'm a pretty new Oracle DBA and backup and recovery is something I want to learn as much about as I can.
I read a blog about "how to be a good DBA" and it really drove home the importance of backups. I know how important they are, I just want to learn more.
What I mean is, I understand a lot of the high level concepts. It is pretty much straight forward. What I am looking for is something that really goes down in the internals of what is going on behind the scenes so I know what is going on.
I thought it would be extremely beneficial for me to learn about user backups. Granted, RMAN is the direction my company is heading to, but right now, we are doing user made backups. My thinking is that if I can get a solid grip and understanding of backup and recovery, user made backups, it will make the transition to RMAN much easier. That way, when I am working in RMAN, issue a command to do backup, I know the equivalent of a user backup and what is going on.
I hope that makes sense.
Is there a recommended book that goes over backup and recovery in depth?
I'd like to learn about all the user-made backup commands that can be executed at the command line (example, putting a tablespace in backup).
Since backups are essential to the life of a DBA, I thought the more I know, the better off I would be.

You can always find good information from Oracle document site,
Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Basics
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm
Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/toc.htm
User managed backup is quite different from RMAN backup. For RMAN backup you need to get familiar with the RMAN command syntax and configure.

Where can I get more information on Cryptography Extension ??

Hi.
Does anyone know how to set up the Jarsafe product ?
Another thing is, how to set security for the Cryptography Extension ??
can anyone tell me where can i get more information on this ??
Thank you.

You need to download the JCE 1.2.1 that is available on the http://java.sun.com website. Once you download the software, you need to make the jar files available. It is easiest to place the JCE jar files in the extension mechanism folder since permission has already been granted, by default, to any code in that folder. That folder is JAVA_HOME\lib\ext on Windows. JAVA_HOME is where the Java Runtime Environment is installed.
When using JarSafe with Java Web Start, make sure that the JCE jar files are placed in the extension mechanism folder of the JRE that Java Web Start is using.

What is Oracle Web Services Manager and where can i get more information ?

Hi,
Can any one point me to some useful links to know abt
Oracle Web Services Manager and some example to play with it.
Appreciate your help !!

Vijay,
You can install Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) as a stand alone product, but the easiest way would be to use the OracleAS SOA Suite Developer Preview, that contains all the SOA components (OWSM, J2EE, BPEL, ESB, ...)
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) Developer Preview for the Oracle SOA Suite

I am planning to buy iphone 5 but confused on its mail management. Where can i get more information on it? I am currently a blackberry user.

I am not sure how iphone would handle the mail traffic. I understand that once you open the outlook, all mails goes out of your hand phone. My worry is then how to refer the past mails while not in front of the machine and outlook? I am currently using Blackberry which is excellent on mail management and hence this worry before I make a switch.

Read the User's Guide.
If you actually set up the email account instead of simply syncing via Outlook on the computer then your concerns listed above are irrelevant.

I see that some people have done this.
Is this legal and if yes where can I get the installation files?

The other option would be to get the NFR kit for 8.0 which gives you a lot more,

Where can i find more information about using or nesting formulas

where can i find more information about using or nesting formulas

I am not aware there is a resource specific to nesting functions. this comes from understanding each function (or at least the description in the function help).
a great resource is the function reference which you can see by typing the "=" sign in any cell:
the important thing to note is:
1) what are the inputs to the function and
2) what does the function return (the output)
the if() function (listed above) takes three inputs and returns one output. These forums are a great resource!

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
If it's a charge though your iTunes Store account, it should be reflected in your Purchase History:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly or your credit card number has been stolen and used by someone else in another iTunes Store account rather than an unauthorized purchase through your account. In either case it will be up to your bank to handle.
Regards.

Where can I get more info about Director and Projectors?

I would like to learn how to create interactivity within my animations-like menus and such.
a)where can I buy Director
b)where can I re-learn it after 10 years?
Thanks

you can buy new online in the Adobe store or try to find a usefull version like MX2004 or 11.5 on ebay or similar recources.
if you can get an upgradeable version at a cheap recource it will be better to upgrade to 11.5 as to buy the full version 11.5.
See eligeble versions in the Adobe online store.
