Using the Oracle Recovery Catalog for Backup Operations

By default, recovery catalog is not used for backup and restore. As the recovery catalog contains metadata about RMAN operations for each registered database, it is recommended to include recovery catalog in backups. The metadata information is useful when you want to restore and recover the database after a crash.
