Using rman to backup a remote database

I am after a good guide or advice on how (what) to install and
(how to) run Oracle RMAN to backup a remote Oracle database.

RMAN must be installed and run on a Solaris (SunOS 5.8) box
remote from the Solaris box (also SunOS 5.8) running the Oracle
database but connected to it via a TCP/IP network.

The Oracle Recovery Manager and Database version is 9.2.0.1.0.

RMAN must perform the backup of the remote database over the
network and store the backup on a disk local to the RMAN box.

The backups may be full or incremental and may be "hot" backups
taken while the Oracle database is open.

The disk files are to be then backed up to tape using Veritas.

What software do I need to install on the RMAN box ?

What software do I need to install on the remote Oracle database
box ?

Thanks,

Brett Morgan.

start from the documentation
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/toc.htm

The only need to use RMAN is to do a hot backup.
for a cold backup i wouldnt worry about all the work with RMAN.
>>What software do I need to install on the RMAN box

Obviously, oracle,rmandatabase configuration, veritas (to pick the backupsets into tapes. if you have veritas MML API license, you can directly backup database into tape using RMAN).
