New Backup and Recovery Features for Oracle 11g Release 2 -- 备份恢复在此版本的新特性（着重摘取几个）
DUPLICATE Database Command Enhancements -- 可以不用连到TRAGET DATABASE 也可以做DUPLICATE操作
Users can duplicate a database without connecting to a target database. The only
requirements for this operation are a connection to a catalog and an auxiliary
database. This new functionality is useful when the target database is not always
available.
Users can also duplicate a database without connecting to a target database and a
recovery catalog. In this case, the only requirement is that you provide a disk
backup location where RMAN can find all the backups, datafile copies, archived
logs, and control file copies for database duplication. This database duplication
enhancement is helpful when it is not possible to connect to the target database
and the recovery catalog.

Automatic Block Repair -- 坏块的自修复
A detected corrupt block (for example, via a user's SQL query) is now
automatically repaired by using a good block from a physical standby database.
With automatic block repair, a user querying data in the corrupt block no longer
sees the corrupt block error message displayed (ORA-01578). Instead, there is a
pause while the corrupt block is repaired, and then the results of the SQL query
are returned. The automatic block repair is transparent to the user unless the
repair fails. Block recovery is faster because no redo needs to be applied to the
block that is taken from the physical standby database.
