I start the discussion by simply linking the first script below:

rmanDB.sh

Notice that the above script pulls in its environment variables from
a file named /.BIKLE

That file is linked below:

.BIKLE

A screen dump related to rmanDB.sh is displayed below:

rmanDB.sh Screen Dump

Notice that the above script only backs up the Database.

I wrote another script to backup the archived redolog files:

rmanArchlog.sh

A screen dump related to rmanArchlog.sh is displayed below:

rmanArchlog.sh Screen Dump

One thing which sets a RAC database apart from a single instance
database is that archived redolog files become created on more than
one node.  So, in order for me to back all the archived redologs
for this particular configuration, I copied the script to the 
second node in the cluster and ran it (with no modifications at all).


A second screen dump related to rmanArchlog.sh is displayed below:

rmanArchlog.sh Screen Dump #2

Next, I ran a script to backup the control file.

That script and a corresponding screen dump are displayed below:

rmanCtl.sh
rmanCtl.sh Screen Dump

According to the documentation, I may backup the spfile.
I did that; the script and a corresponding screen dump are displayed below:

rmanSpfile.sh
rmanSpfile-sd.txt

Next, I put together a shell script which wrapped all of the above
shell scripts.  It is displayed below:

rmanBIKLE.sh
