Encountered a snag. All of my backups have been to the Flashback Recovery Area (FRA) which is stored on the FRA ASM disk group. Big problem because these files are not accessible outside of ASM.
Apparently there is an FTP interface via XDB. I am having trouble understanding that and now I am considering using a plain disk backup and using SFTP to transport the files to the botany cluster.
